Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest ended in a brawl with both sides clashing on the pitch as Enzo Maresca ended up on the deck.
The Premier League match ended in a 1-1 draw while James Ward-Prowse was sent off for the visitors at Stamford Bridge in west London.
With Chelsea pushing for a winner, Marc Cucurella was flying down the flank when Neco Williams gave him a slight nudge.
It sent the Spaniard sprawling off the pitch, right where Blues boss Maresca was standing.

The Italian appeared to be unharmed and jumped right back up but by then, it was too late. A melee had broken out.
Levi Colwill grabbed Williams straight after his push on Cucurella, which saw several Forest players intervened.
In the blink of an eye, both sets of players were showing each other and pulling others away as the fracas grew with even the coaches getting involved.
Cucurella, Colwill and main culprit Williams were eventually booked for the incident as the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

Chris Wood had opened the scoring for Forest shortly after the break, toeing in from a set-piece that was poorly defended by Chelsea.
But Noni Madueke struck back soon after, cutting in on his preferred left foot before pulling out a neat finish.
Both sides had excellent chances to take home all three points but each team’s respective goalkeepers were in outrageous form.
