This Kieran Gibbs red card vs Chelsea (VIDEO BELOW) was an erroneous piece of refereeing from Andre Marriner in the Chelsea Arsenal clash on March 22, 2014. Gibbs’ teammate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain put a hand to the ball to stop it from going in, but Marriner sent off the former instead of the latter.
Oxlade-Chamberlain tried to tell Marriner that he was the guilty party and had handled the ball, but to no avail. Marriner later admitted that he had sent off the wrong person.

What was the assistant doing then? Granted Gibbs and Ox look somewhat similar, with complexion and hair (or lack of it), but that’s no excuse.
