Chelsea have become the first team in the Premier League history to receive six or more yellow cards in three games of a single season — and it only took them nine matches.

A Premier League team with six or more bookings in a game is fined by the FA on a progressive scale.

After the Newcastle game, Chelsea will be fined £75,000. Previously, they were fined £25,000 after playing Bournemouth, and £50,000 after facing Nottingham Forest.

Overall, Chelsea have been fined £150,000 this season for their players' failure to control themselves.

Against Newcastle, four out of seven bookings were issued for timewasting or arguing with the officials.
