After Chelsea's loss in the London derby, legendary player John Terry discussed the incident on his channel in which Gabriel kicked Enzo Martinez in the head.

Terry said: It's very difficult to accept a defeat at Emirates Stadium. As head coach, Enzo Maresca suffered his first Premier League loss. But I never thought I'd say this: I left yesterday's match feeling genuinely pleased. I saw far more positives than negatives.

I know we lost, but Arsenal is an excellent team. So let's analyze the match. We did exactly what we said before the game: pressing aggressively, winning the first ball, winning the second ball, getting into the penalty area, winning one-on-one duels—and we did it really well.

Cole Palmer's finish was also brilliant. He now has two goals and one assist in three matches. This is the effect of signing players familiar with the Premier League who understand the league and the competitive nature of the clubs here. Players joining from abroad often need time to adapt, while those already familiar with the Premier League can hit the ground running. He must be thrilled with his start at Chelsea, and I hope this form continues throughout the season.

Regarding the incident between Martinez and Gabriel, Gabriel clearly kicked Martinez in the head. When I watched the match at home yesterday, I initially thought this wasn't serious, but in slow motion, he clearly didn't touch the ball at all and kicked Martinez in the head.

There are moments like that in matches. I think Arsenal is the best team in the league at using the "dark arts," controlling the game, and handling similar situations. Yesterday was a great opportunity. When I was right next to the goalkeeper and saw him react like that, my first reaction was: if I were the nearest player, I would immediately run to the referee and shout: "Ref, he just kicked him in the head—that's a red card!"

We should have surrounded the referee and put pressure on him. I think we missed a huge opportunity yesterday to get an opponent sent off. I know we don't want to do things deliberately, but we're here to get three points and compete for the Premier League title, so these details are crucial. As a team, we need to do better in this regard. I believe we will, because there's more experience in the squad now.

In yesterday's situation, we could have actually made a much bigger impact. I don't think any club, player, or manager gets special treatment, but in critical moments when everyone is watching, you have to put pressure on the referee. After the replay in slow motion, the goalkeeper clearly holds his head.

I also think that because this was such a serious incident, the coaching staff will definitely take note. You need to apply enough pressure on the fourth official, make a big fuss near the bench, call him over, and ask him to review the action as much as possible. Of course, the referee will make his own decision, but if he went to the touchline to watch the replay yesterday, in my opinion, that would be a clear red card.
