Chelsea and Nottingham Forest have been charged by the Football Association for failing to control their players during a mass confrontation in Sunday’s Premier League match at Stamford Bridge.
However, no action will be taken against Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson, who appeared to slap Forest’s Morato as players from both teams clashed near the end of the 1-1 draw.
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 tomorrow 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.
