Mark Clattenburg's Yellow Card Record
In the 2016/17 Premier League season, Mark Clattenburg booked nine Tottenham players against Chelsea - the most yellow cards ever shown to a single team in a match.
Battle of the Bridge
The match, which became known as the "Battle of the Bridge," was an instant classic in Premier League folklore. Chelsea won the match 2-1, but it was the fiery atmosphere and Clattenburg's record-breaking yellow card count that stole the headlines.
Tottenham's nine yellow cards were a Premier League record, and it was the first time that a team had been shown nine yellows in a single match since 2006.
The match was also notable for Eden Hazard's iconic goal, which saw him dribble past several Tottenham defenders before slotting the ball into the net.
