Hincapie received only a yellow following VAR review on the aerial clash that left Chalobah with visible facial swelling, while Caicedo’s studs-up lunge on Mikel Merino was upgraded to red, prompting Maresca to accept the dismissal but demand clarity on why similar high and reckless challenges are judged differently week to week.

Arsenal halted Jakub Kiwior’s transfer to Porto, cancelling a private jet arranged for his travel, as they wait to finalise a deal for Bayer Leverkusen’s Piero Hincapie. Porto had agreed personal terms with Kiwior for a season-long loan with buy clause. Arsenal want Hincapie before sanctioning Kiwior’s exit, but Leverkusen are demanding his £52m release clause be met. Hincapie has agreed personal terms with Arsenal, yet negotiations stall, leaving Kiwior’s proposed £22.5m move to Porto in limbo.
