Chelsea and Leicester City players were involved in a mass brawl at the end of their match on Tuesday.
With the game petering out to a 2-1 victory for the west London outfit at Stamford Bridge, several Chelsea players were enraged by a reckless challenge from Foxes full-back Ricardo Pereira.
Within moments several Leicester players piled into back up their teammate, including some from the bench – such as Daniel Amartey.
The Ghanaian international made his way into the headlines following Leicester’s FA Cup final win over the Blues on Saturday, when he threw Chelsea’s pennant to the ground in celebration.
It looks like the Blues players weren’t best pleased by that, with quite a few of them heading straight for the Ghana international instead of Pereira – who had made the offending tackle. Thiago Silva made his feelings particularly clear to the midfielder.
Eventually, Edouard Mendy got into the middle of it all and broke it up with the sheer length of his arms, but fans were happy to see their players have a bit of pride for the club. Amartey ended up with a booking for his trouble.
Chelsea came out 2-1 victors on the night, strengthening their chances of Champions League football next season. However, they will still be disappointed at missing out on silverware to the Foxes just last week.
Meanwhile, Leicester are in serious danger of missing out should Liverpool win their final two matches, as they have worse goal difference than the Reds. In addition, they can’t afford to drop any points in their final game of the season – against Tottenham.
