Chelsea's Premier League clash against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge made a remarkable piece of English top division history.

The Blues took a first half lead through Cole Palmer, but went 2-1 behind after goals from Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo.

But captain Reece James rescued a point for Enzo Maresca's side with a 95th-minute goal, with the game ultimately ending in a 2-2 draw.

It was a chaotic match which ultimately ended with both sides taking home a point apiece - but it was also a history-making encounter.

David Brooks caught Marc Cucurella with his arm as the Chelsea defender ran forward for a counter attack, with fans debating whether it amounted to violent conduct.

VAR official Graham Scott checked the incident and decided to recommend an on-field review, with referee Rob Jones going over to the pitchside monitor to check the incident again.

However, Jones decided to reject the red card review, and instead deemed that the foul was worthy of a yellow card for a reckless action, rather than violent conduct.

ESPN's Dale Johnson stated that this is the first time in Premier League history that a referee has rejected a red card review at the VAR monitor.

The Premier League released a statement on the incident through its Match Centre Twitter account, writing: "VAR recommended an on-field review for a possible red card to Brooks for violent conduct.

"Upon review, the referee deemed that the challenge on Cucurella was a reckless action and not violent conduct - and issued a yellow card to Brooks."

The 2-2 result continues Chelsea's run of five games without a league win, and they will finish the evening in fourth place in the Premier League table after their late equaliser and the equaliser Manchester City conceded at Brentford.

Maresca's side could be overhauled by Newcastle if they defeat Wolves at St James' Park on Wednesday.
