Neco Williams pushed Marc Cucurella off the pitch, causing him to knock Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca to the ground, which sparked an on-pitch fracas in the 88th minute of their Stamford Bridge contest on Sunday. Virtually everyone on the field and substitutes were involved, while Chelsea and Forest now have until Thursday to answer a charge of failing to control their players. “Chelsea and Nottingham Forest have been charged after the mass confrontation at their Premier League fixture on Sunday, 6 October,” an FA statement said. For the second time this season, Chelsea were shown six yellow cards meaning they will likely face a fine. Jackson was not on the pitch – having been substituted in the 81st minute – and will face no retrospective action.
