Referee Anthony Taylor will not officiate a Premier League match this weekend after receiving severe online abuse following Chelsea's 1-0 victory over Bournemouth, during which he issued a record 14 yellow cards. The Premier League has launched an investigation into the harassment directed at Taylor, with some threats reportedly aimed at him and his family. Despite the controversy, Chelsea's head coach Enzo Maresca downplayed the significance of the yellow cards, while Bournemouth's manager Andoni Iraola expressed dissatisfaction with the officiating. Taylor will instead serve as the fourth official for matches involving Southampton and Ipswich, as well as Brighton and Nottingham Forest. Both Chelsea and Bournemouth have been fined £25,000 each for exceeding the limit of yellow cards in a single match. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about referee safety and the impact of social media abuse on officiating.
