Chelsea were shown eight yellows to their opponents' six as referee Anthony Taylor angered both sets of supporters by showing such an addiction to soft cautions at the Vitality Stadium.
The total of 14 bookings was a new record for a Premier League match, and that number does not even include the other cards shown to coaching staff, including Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca.
Joao Felix was the last player to be booked in the 91st minute for catching Alex Scott as he ran by his opponent and now, the FA are set to punish both clubs for ill discipline.

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola did not want to discuss Taylor's performance afterwards, perhaps out of fear for being further punished if he overstepped the mark.
But Iraola did say: 'There were 14 quite easy first yellows then second yellows were not so easy. But I will not focus on the referee. It hasn't worked before so today I will not focus.'
