Tensions boiled over in the dying moments of Sunday’s bad-tempered Premier League contest after Marc Cucurella was shoved in the back by Neco Williams, which sent the Spaniard careering into Enzo Maresca on the touchline. The incident sparked a heated melee between both sets of players, including Jackson, who had earlier been substituted for Christopher Nkunku at Stamford Bridge. This afternoon it was confirmed that Chelsea and Forest had been charged but Jackson will receive no retrospective punishment for his scuffle with Morato.
