Bournemouth forward David Brooks became the first player in Premier League history not to be sent off after a red-card review at the pitch-side monitor - much to the disbelief of Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca.

The Premier League released a statement on Tuesday night, insisting that David Brooks escaped a red card for dragging Chelsea defender, Marc Cucurella to the ground, because it was not violent conduct.

Premier League history was created at Stamford Bridge when the referee refused to send off Bournemouth's David Brooks despite a VAR intervention.

A stoppage-time free kick by Reece James rescued a point for Chelsea as they drew 2-2 with AFC Bournemouth, although their winless run in the Premier League stretched to five matches. The home side dominated the opening stages of the encounter and went ahead early on through a nerveless finish by Cole Palmer after great work by Nicolas Jackson.

Chelsea captain Reece James rescued a point for his side with a 95th-minute free kick to snatch a 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth in the Premier League on Tuesday.

Reece James scored his first Premier League goal since August 2022 to rescue a draw for Chelsea at home to Bournemouth. Chelsea took the lead on 13 minutes when Nicolas Jackson set up Cole Palmer to continue their fine run of goal combinations only for Justin Kluivert to equalise with a 50th-minute penalty.
