Huge brawl during the Chelsea-Nottingham match
“The Sun” reported that it all started after Nottingham Forest’s Neco Williams pushed Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella against London coach Enzo Maresca. A momentary verbal altercation first turned into a scuffle between the two, and then into a fight in which the players and members of the training staff of both teams got involved.
One of the most active in the chaos, as shown by the cameras, was the Blues’ striker, Nicolas Jackson, who left the field in the 81st minute. The recordings showed the Senegalese starting to gesture towards the visitors’ defender, Morato. It didn’t end with gestures. Jackson, according to “The Sun”, allegedly hit the Brazilian. Other sources say that he merely grabbed him by the face and pushed him.
The confusion lasted for a few minutes, and after the situation calmed down, cards started pouring out. Williams from Nottingham and Cucurella and Levi Colwill from Chelsea received a yellow card. Goal.com reported that although Jackson avoided punishment on the pitch, he will face consequences and will most likely be suspended.

This reaction is a hit on the Internet
The hit of the Internet for the entire event is the reaction of Cole Palmer, the Chelsea star. The Englishman first watched the fight, then sat down, watched his teammates fight their rivals and waited for the chaos to end.
Fans do not hide their admiration for his behavior. They also quickly found the reason for Palmer’s behavior. Well, a few minutes earlier he received a yellow card and did not want to risk seeing another card that would result in his being sent off the field.
Ultimately, the match was completed without any major problems. There was a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, which pleased the fans of the London team more, which moved to fourth place in the Premier League table. Nottingham Forest is in 10th position.
