Chelsea's 1-0 victory over Bournemouth on September 14, 2024, set a new Premier League record for the most yellow cards shown in a single match.
Referee Anthony Taylor issued a staggering 14 yellow cards, surpassing the previous record of 13. Chelsea received eight bookings, while Bournemouth had six.
In addition to the players, Chelsea's coach, Enzo Maresca, was also shown a yellow card.
Despite the tense atmosphere and the number of cards, the game remained competitive, with Chelsea securing the win through a late goal by Christopher Nkunku in the 86th minute.
Remarkably, no player was sent off, and the game ended with 11 players on each side. The cards largely stemmed from fouls and dissent, as Taylor appeared quick to caution players in what was not perceived as a particularly aggressive match.
