Chelsea and Forest charged for failing to control players

Chelsea and Nottingham Forest players clashed with two minutes of normal time remaining

Chelsea and Nottingham Forest have been charged by the Football Association for failing to control their players after a mass confrontation during Sunday’s Premier League game at Stamford Bridge.

However, no action will be taken against Nicolas Jackson after the Chelsea forward appeared to slap, external Forest’s Morato, as players from both sides clashed towards the end of the match, which ended 1-1.

Tempers had flared after Forest’s Neco Williams had appeared to push defender Marc Cucurella off the pitch.

The incident involving Jackson and Morato was reviewed by the video assistant referee at the time.

“It’s alleged that both clubs failed to ensure their players didn’t behave in an improper and/or provocative way around the 88th minute,” the FA said in a statement.

Both clubs have until Thursday to respond to the charge.

Three players were booked following the clash – Williams for Forest and Cucurella and Levi Colwill for Chelsea.

A total of six players were booked for the Blues throughout the match, meaning they are the subject of an automatic £50,000 fine after accumulating six or more bookings for the second time this season.
