Players from both sides were involved after Neco Williams had shoved Marc Cucurella into Enzo Maresca.

Exclusive footage from SunSport shows the moment tempers flared in front of the dugout.

Members of the backroom staff, both managers and the substitutes even came onto the pitch as the fracas continued.

Among them was Jackson, who had been replaced by Christopher Nkunku in the 81st minute.

However, it did not stop him from getting involved, with the footage appearing to show him reaching out towards Forest's Morato.

The Chelsea man is then dragged away by his team-mates as words are exchanged between the players.

Jackson managed to avoid a booking, though, once referee Chris Kavanagh had calmed the situation.

Instead, both Williams and Cucurella were shown yellow cards, along with Blues defender Levi Colwill.

Chelsea did not trail for long, however, as Cole Palmer teed up Noni Madueke to equalise.

Neither side were able to find a winner late on, though, after the scuffle broke out on the touchline.
