In a recent Premier League match between Chelsea and Bournemouth, a significant incident occurred involving Bournemouth's David Brooks and Chelsea's Marc Cucurella. During a counter-attack, Brooks impeded Cucurella, leading to a VAR review for potential violent conduct. Referee Robert Jones was advised to review the incident on the pitchside monitor but ultimately decided to issue only a yellow card to Brooks, marking the first time in Premier League history that a referee has rejected a red-card review after consulting the monitor.

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher provided insight into the decision, clarifying that Brooks grabbed the front of Cucurella's shirt, not his hair. Gallagher explained that the referee deemed the action reckless rather than violent, leading to the yellow card.

Chelsea's head coach, Enzo Maresca, expressed his disagreement with the decision, stating, "I said many times, for me, if there is no intention to take the ball, it's a red."

The match concluded in a 2-2 draw, with Reece James scoring a late equalizer for Chelsea. This result extended Chelsea's winless streak to five games, while Bournemouth maintained their unbeaten run across all competitions.
