A heated clash unfolded between Chelsea and Nottingham Forest players during their 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Amid the tense atmosphere, cameras caught Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, who had already been substituted, getting involved in the scuffle by allegedly slapping Nottingham Forest’s Morato.
However, after a thorough VAR review during the match, it was concluded that no further action was necessary.
No Punishment for Nicolas Jackson
Despite the incident, the Football Association (FA) has decided not to take any retrospective disciplinary action against Nicolas Jackson for the alleged slap. The review confirmed that the situation did not warrant any additional punishment for the Chelsea forward.
FA Charges for Both Clubs
While Jackson avoids punishment, both Chelsea and Nottingham Forest are facing charges from the FA for failing to control their players during the “mass confrontation” that occurred on the pitch. This charge reflects the inability of both teams to keep their players in check during the heated exchange.
