Saturday’s Premier League clash between Bournemouth and Chelsea set a new record for the most yellow cards in a game.
Referee Anthony Taylor showed a total of 14 yellow cards in this game https://ufabet999.app, with six for the home team and eight for the away team, not to mention yellow cards for both teams’ staff and managers Enzo Maresca and Andoni Iraola.
Maresca said: “The number of yellow cards is not a problem, that’s it. I complained about the foul on Wesley Fofana, which I thought was very clear, but it happened.”
“Eight yellow cards might be because this kind of game is about duels and fights, and that can happen.”
For his part, Iraola said about this issue: “I’m not going to talk about the referee. I’ve talked about it before but it didn’t work. So now I’ve decided to try the opposite and see how it goes.”
The previous all-time high was 12 cards in Wolves’ 1-1 draw with Newcastle in 2010 and Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Spurs in 2016, both with 12 cards.
