August 18, 23:30, Premier League Round 1, Chelsea hosted Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.
Previously, Kovacic was suspected of handling the ball in the penalty area, but referee Anthony Taylor did not rule it as handball and no penalty was awarded. The Premier League Match Center responded: the ball was too close to the defending player, Kovacic had no time to react, thus it was not a penalty.
