Explained: Why Antony Taylor has been pulled from refereeing duty after breaking Premier League record for yellow cards during feisty Chelsea clash

Premier League

Chelsea

Brentford

Bournemouth

West Ham

<p>English official Taylor was in charge of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-player-ratings-vs-bournemouth-christopher-nkunku-robert-sanchez-premier-league/bltc546ce1affd06393" target="_blank">Chelsea's 1-0 win at Bournemouth</a> last weekend - in a match where the referee handed out a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-bournemouth-breaks-premier-league-record-yellow-cards/bltca206aab4913f5bf" target="_blank">Premier League record 14 yellow cards</a>. Off the back of that, he won't officiate any English top-flight games this weekend, and here's why.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/sep/17/anthony-taylor-pulled-from-refereeing-duty-after-social-media-abuse-14-yellow-cards" target="_blank">The Guardian</a>, Taylor won't be in action this weekend after being subjected to abuse on social media in the wake of the Chelsea match. The Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) said on Tuesday that Taylor would be a fourth official on Southampton's home game against Ipswich Town on Saturday and Brighton's trip to Nottingham Forest a day later. </p>

THE EXPLANATION

<p>The report adds Chelsea and Bournemouth face Football Association fines of £25,000 for picking up more than six yellow cards in a match - with eight Blues players being booked at last weekend's encounter. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Chelsea are next in action on Saturday in an early Premier League kick-off away to London neighbours West Ham, whereas Bournemouth travel to Liverpool later that day. Taylor will likely return to refereeing duty next weekend.</p>
