Bournemouth and Chelsea set an unwanted Premier League record in their Saturday night clash as their players hoovered up 14 yellow cards between them.
The hosts were hit for six while Chelsea were handed eight bookings on a bad-tempered night at the Vitality Stadium.
Christopher Nkunku came off the bench to seal a 1-0 win, with Jadon Sancho providing the assist on his Blues debut – not that he escaped Anthony Taylor’s naughty step.
Taylor came down hard on dissent in the game, with managers Andoni Iraola and Enzo Maresca also shown yellow cards.
Cole Palmer was a continual target for fouls, with Ryan Christie and Lewis Cook reprimanded for their roughness with the 22-year-old.
Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was shown the most memorable yellow of the game after rushing out and clattering into striker Evanilson to give away a penalty.
Sanchez had been sold short after a shoddy back pass from Wesley Fofana and it was a stonewall penalty as he brought down the striker, but he redeemed himself by saving the spot-kick.
The previous record of 13 yellow cards was set last September when Tottenham beat Sheffield United 2-1 at home, when Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski both scored in stoppage time to win, having trailed with 98 minutes on the clock.
