<p>Chelsea and Forest played out a tetchy 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, which saw 11 yellow cards issued. James Ward-Prowse was also sent off after collecting two yellows, and footage shared online has now appeared to show Jackson aiming a slap at Morato as both sets of players were involved in a melee. </p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Shock new footage appears to show Nicolas Jackson SLAP Nottingham Forest's Morata 😳 <a href="https://t.co/kz4w3AtXkW">pic.twitter.com/kz4w3AtXkW</a></p>— The Sun Football ⚽ (@TheSunFootball) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheSunFootball/status/1842956237249335324?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 6, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Chelsea and Forest will both be issued fines for failing to adequately control their players, and there is also the potential of Jackson being hit with a retrospective ban for violent conduct. He had been substituted at the point of the melee, which was sparked by a late trip from Neco Williams. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Jackson has scored four goals in eight games in all competitions this season, but struggled to gain a clear sight of goal against Forest as the Blues were held. They now sit fourth in the table and have only lost once all campaign. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Chelsea face Liverpool after the international break but will have to do so <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-lose-wesley-fofana-marc-cucurella-liverpool-game-star-defenders-pick-up-bans-nottingham-forest-draw/bltc977d69c59007bb3" target="_blank">without Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana</a>, who are both suspended after picking up yellow cards in the Forest draw.</p>
