Nicolas Jackson has avoided FA disciplinary action following his post-match brawl with Everton players during Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat at Goodison Park.

During the brawl, Jackson grabbed Everton’s Nathan Patterson around the throat and had to be dragged away from the situation by Mauricio Pochettino and Chelsea staff while violently exchanging words with members of Sean Dyche’s Toffees.

However, striker Jackson has avoided any repercussions because the incident was evaluated by match officials at the time and no further action was taken.

After the game ended, Jackson confronted several Everton players, including Patterson and Amadou Onana, going head-to-head with the former. 

It was unclear what sparked the altercation, and Pochettino quickly escorted him away from the chaos before leading him to the tunnel. 

The Senegal international has six goals in 15 Premier League appearances this season, but he has also had seven yellow cards and has already received a one-match suspension for collecting five cautions in Chelsea’s opening six Premier League games. 

Pochettino has also urged his team to avoid’silly’ yellow cards in recent weeks, saying that he has showed his team video clips of some of the fouls they have committed in training. 

Chelsea ended up having a terrible day, with Abdoulaye Doucoure and emerging sensation Lewis Dobbin both scoring in the second half for the Toffees, despite Chelsea having 16 efforts on goal. 

Pochettino is said to be interested in signing a striker in January if the funds are available, with Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen – who was named African Footballer of the Year on Monday night – being the frontrunners.
