Martínez gets 3/10 from BBC after red card in Chelsea defeat

BBC Sport rated Lisandro Martínez 3 out of 10 after Manchester United’s 2-0 defeat at Chelsea, while its readers gave the defender an average of 2.23 — the lowest score in their player ratings.

The BBC’s reporters said Martínez “did OK and looked good” before Chelsea scored, but criticised him for conceding the penalty and being sent off. Morgan Rogers opened the scoring in the 50th minute; Martínez was dismissed after bringing down Wesley Fofana in the penalty area, and Cole Palmer converted the spot-kick.

Rogers, who scored Chelsea’s first goal, received the reporters’ joint-highest mark of 8, alongside Estêvão. BBC readers rated Rogers their player of the match, with an average of 7.90. Estêvão was next on 7.66.

Chelsea won the match 2-0 against ten-man United. The BBC’s player ratings are its reporters’ assessments, while the reader figures are averages of user submissions after the voting period closed.
