There was much debate in midweek about why Everton's James Tarkowski somehow escaped Anfield with only a yellow card following an x-rated tackle on Alexis Mac Allister.
After not being sent off, Tarkowski captained Everton in Saturday's meeting with Arsenal, and made a piece of Premier League history with another booking.
This yellow card was brandished after the defender tripped Arsenal's Miles Lewis-Skelly, and it means he has now been booked more times without being sent off than any other player in Premier League history

How he has managed to never get sent off is anybody's guess, but that's one to tell the grandchildren about.
