The FA is investigating Arsenal's yellow card.

According to The Athletic, bookmakers contacted the FA when odd betting patterns were discovered in a match earlier this season. An unusually large amount of bets were put on an Arsenal player earning a yellow card.

According to the article, the name of the player is known, but the magazine has decided not to publicise it for the time being owing to privacy concerns.

Although it is known that the situation is not being investigated formally by the authority, an FA spokesperson stated, "The FA is aware of the matter in question and is looking into it."

Customers can bets on particular features of matches, like as bookings, throw-ins, or corners, rather than on the overall outcome of a match.

According to BBC Sport, Lincoln midfielder Bradley Wood received a six-year suspension in April 2018 after being purposely booked twice during his club's participation in the FA Cup the previous season. He was sentenced to a five-year suspension for match-fixing offences, followed by a 12-month term after admitting to 22 counts of betting on the outcome of matches and one count of passing on information.

According to another Guardian story, Essex bowler Mervyn Westfield was sentenced to four months in prison in 2012 after confessing to bowling in a way that permitted a particular amount of runs to be scored during a Natwest Pro40 match.
