Todays Official for Villa v Man City .
John Brookes
Villa Unbeaten in his 6 Games with him as ref 5 Villa Wins 1 Draw no defeats
Including epic 3-0 home win V Newcastle

In total this season has 9  Prem Matches including 3-1 Villa Luton. (No Man City)
Booked 5 players in match
3 Players Villa: Zaniolo, Cash and Kamara all for fouls.

John Brookes has Sent off the most players this season
Issued 4 Red Cards.

Brookes Red Cards:
Straight Red: violent conduct
Straight Red: 1 professional foul
2 players second booking (one for diving)

Yellow cards: 43
Average 4.44 yellow Cards a Game

7 Yellow Cards for Dissent
4 for time wasting

Awarded 3 pens this season.
Including 2 in West Ham Chelsea
And in his last game was the ref who issued a dive for Martial in Everton V Man Utd overturned by VAR for a pen

Think he had a pretty good fame last night, kept he game moving  and wasn't too picky over physical challenges.

One glaring error was his failure to give red cards to the entire City squad for their pathetic impersonation of  "the greatest team in world football".

How many fouls does McGinn draw ?

[paul_e]

For this one I'm less interested in what Gillett has done in previous games with us than in knowing if he's got much experience of how easily Saka, Odegaard and Martinelli go down and how he's handled it.

[Risso]

We've had Gillett twice this season. Chelsea away when he sent off one of their players (albeit after a VAR intervention) and Forest away, when we were shit. He had one Arsenal game last season in the league, and one the year before. In 6 Premier League games this season he's given out 28 yellows, 1 red and awarded one penalty. No real controversies from him that I can remember, although he did seem to blow up a bit early in our game against Chelsea. Which was fair enough!

So to answer Paul's question, not much experience of Arsenal at all.

Paul was asking how he handled Arsenal games. He's only had one.

And he has awarded a penalty, to Man City against Sheffield Utd. Haaland missed it.

Oh ok sorry I misunderstood.

I know Arsenal have least yellow cards in the league.
And they give up least amount of fouls like just under 10 fouls a match average. One of , if not the lowest in the Prem

Quick question, are offsides counted as fouls for these stats? The opposing teams get a free kick after all.
