Ex-ref Cesari: Chelsea attacker Sterling deserved red card

Former Italian ref Graziano Cesari says Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling should've been sent off against AC Milan.

Chelsea won their Champions League game in Milan 2-0, with Fikayo Tomori sent off for the hosts.

Tomori saw red after giving away an early penalty, converted by Jorginho.

However, Cesari insists Chelsea should also have gone down to ten men on the night, stating on Mediaset: "Sterling was rightly booked for a foul on (Rade) Krunic.

"But then later the same English striker stopped (Ismael) Bennacer by not going not even looking for the ball and there was a red, for me absolutely."
