The Football Association has charged Chelsea and Nottingham Forest after a pitch-side altercation between players during their match, which ended 1-1. Neco Williams' challenge sparked the confrontation, causing a melee that involved numerous players, both on and off the field. The FA's statement emphasized the clubs' failure to maintain proper conduct among players near the end of the match, which resulted in a total of 11 yellow cards being issued.
The incident occurred around the 88th minute, when Forest's Neco Williams's tackle on Chelsea's Marc Cucurella not only brought the player down but also sent him sprawling into Chelsea's technical area. This maneuver inadvertently involved coach Enzo Maresca, prompting a series of pushes and shoves among players from both sides, leading to a chaotic scene that required intervention from referee Chris Kavanagh.
