Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Yves Bissouma has become the fastest player to receive a yellow card in the Premier League.

Bissouma started for Tottenham in their 4-0 win at Manchester City on Saturday night.

The Malian midfielder was quickly shown a yellow card. By referee John Brooks just 14 seconds after the final whistle.

Completing the list for the five fastest bookings in Premier League history are: Scott McTominay (24 seconds for Man United in 2019); Liam Cooper ufabet http://ufabet999.app (25 seconds for Leeds United in 2021) and Stephen Warnock (26 seconds for Blackburn in 2009).

After the opening whistle blew, Bissouma already missed the opportunity to break Keith Gillespie’s record of receiving the fastest red card ever in the Premier League.

Prior to kick-off, the former Sheffield United man struck Stephen Hunt in the face with his elbow twice, directly in the view of the linesman. 

The figures confirm that Bissouma is the fastest Premier League player to receive a yellow card in history, breaking the record previously held by former Liverpool forward Sadio Mane. Who was booked in the 15th second of a 2-2 draw with Chelsea in 2022.
