During an exciting Premier League match between Chelsea FC and Nottingham Forest (1-1), Nicolas Jackson from “The Blues” was caught in a fight that took place in the final minutes of the match. The match at Stamford Bridge ended in a draw, but the incident on the touchline attracted media attention.
According to footage published by The Sun, the chaos started when Nottingham Forest’s Neco Williams pushed Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella onto Enzo Maresca. A heated exchange of words turned into a scuffle involving players from both teams and the coaching staff. Even the reserve players got in on the action.
Jackson, who had previously been replaced by Christopher Nkunku in the 81st minute of the match, was captured on video appearing to gesture towards Forest player Morato. At one point you can see him hitting the Brazilian in the face.
Chelsea players quickly pulled their teammate away, and after the intervention of referee Chris Kavanagh, the situation was brought under control. Interestingly, Jackson avoided a penalty, although other participants in the fight – Williams, Cucurella and Levi Colwill from Chelsea – received yellow cards.
