Chelsea's 1-0 victory over Bournemouth set a Premier League record with 14 yellow cards issued by referee Anthony Taylor. Eight Chelsea players, six Bournemouth players, and both managers received cautions in a match that was not particularly aggressive but saw numerous bookings for dissent. Christopher Nkunku scored the decisive goal in the 86th minute after coming off the bench, assisted by Jadon Sancho on his Chelsea debut. Robert Sanchez was instrumental, saving a first-half penalty to keep the game level. Despite Bournemouth's dominance in the first half and hitting the woodwork twice, Chelsea's resilience secured the win, lifting them to seventh place in the league standings.
