Just before the half hour mark in the game between Chelsea and West Brom, things got very exciting.
First of all, Chelsea took the lead. Marcos Alonso's free-kick was saved onto the post and Christian Pulisic turned in the rebound to make it 1-0. Chelsea were dominating so it was no surprise when they went ahead.
Then, the game changing moment. Thiago Silva slid in and caught his opponent late as the West Brom player went to shoot and referee David Coote sent him off for a second yellow card. The ball was already heading out for a goal kick.
