Zola suggests Chelsea to report Burnley after Sarri was allegedly 'offended'

Chelsea assistant coach Gianfranco Zola implied the club will report Burnley to the Football Association (FA) after their coaching staff allegedly "offended" Maurizio Sarri in Monday's 2-2 draw.

An entertaining contest ended with fractious scenes, as a scuffle on the pitch saw several players get involved and it ended with a Mateo Kovacic booking.

Chelsea boss Sarri was subsequently given his marching orders after he had walked down the touchline, seemingly trying to talk to his players during the previous fracas.
