Red card! Puncheon is sent off for a second yellow card. It's a late lunge at Monreal, and a deserved booking.

Dann is walking off ridiculously slowly in order to waste time. He should be booked.

Giroud pathetically hurls himself to the ground in a vain attemt to win a penalty when he challenges for a cross. Dann is now down 'injured'.

Alexis plays some good one-touch passing through the centre of the pitch and sends a low, scuffed shot towards goal. Oxlade-Chamberlain is on for Wilshere. Oxlade-Chamberlain is a cleverer, faster and more technically able player by absolutely miles.

Chamakh is booked for a proper barge into Wilshere in midifeld. That had been coming.
