In a game featuring a record of 14 yellow cards, the most in Premier League history, Christopher Nkunku, a midfielder for Chelsea, scored in the 86th minute to secure a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday. The match was fiercely contested, with the Brazilian attacker Evanilson missing a penalty that Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez saved in the first half and Bournemouth hitting the woodwork twice. Nkunku, entered the game in the 79th minute, scoring the winning goal as Chelsea prevailed against Bournemouth despite their best efforts.

The 24-year-old winger Jadon Sancho's debut was much anticipated since he joined Chelsea on loan from Manchester United, where manager Erik ten Hag had lost interest in him. Sancho, entered the game at the beginning of the second half, lived up to the anticipation with a powerful performance. He helped Chelsea secure a vital victory by setting up the game-winning goal, which was scored by fellow substitute Christopher Nkunku.

During a press conference following the game, Enzo Maresca conveyed his happiness with Sancho's performance, stating that the team had anticipated nothing less than perfection from the winger. "I don't see problems around Jadon [Sancho], around Joao [Felix], I don't see anything negative to be honest...I have the feeling Jadon needs love," Maresca told Sky Sports.

Match saw getting 14 yellow cards 

Jadon Sancho, who spent a season on loan at Borussia Dortmund and participated in the UEFA Champions League's finals last year, would be keen to repeat that feat at Chelsea. With immense gratitude, Sancho thanked Chelsea and complimented his new teammates for their support.

In addition to providing the player with a new start, his debut demonstrated his potential to play a significant role in Chelsea's success this season. The match will be remembered more for the referee Anthony Taylor's 14 yellow cards, eight of which went to Chelsea players, for a combination of repeated fouling and dissent.
