Nicolas Jackson will avoid retrospective punishment from the FA for shoving Morato in the face on Sunday, but Chelsea and Nottingham Forest have been charged for their mass melee in Sunday’s fiery draw.
Jackson’s reaction after he ran from the substitutes’ bench was studied by VAR Jarred Gillett, who decided it did not constitute violent conduct, and noted in referee Chris Kavanagh’s report.
The authorities have decided against taking any further action as a result.
Footage of the incident at Stamford Bridge was shared on social media immediately afterwards as it showed Jackson, who had already been substituted, appearing to ‘slap’ Morato while both sets of players engaged in a shoving match.
