During the game, Chelsea picked up 6 yellow cards through Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, Christopher Nkunku, Weskey Fofana, Romeo Lavia, Pedro Neto, and Noni Madueke.

This has led to a £75,000 fine as it becomes the third time this season that the West London side have registered six yellow cards in a single game.
