LONDON (Reuters) - Referee Andre Marriner was left red-faced after he sent off the wrong player in Chelsea's 6-0 Premier League thrashing of Arsenal on Saturday.

Arsenal were trailing 2-0 to early goals from Samuel Eto'o and Andre Schuerrle when Mariner gave a penalty and a red card to Kieran Gibbs after team mate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain handled a shot from Eden Hazard on the goalline.
