Both clubs accepted the charge and an FA spokesperson confirmed that Forest and Chelsea have been fined £125,000 and £40,000, respectively, for the incident.

A melee broke out in the closing stages of their 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge sparked by Forest defender Neco Williams pushing Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella, which caused him to knock down Blues boss Enzo Maresca.
Nearly all 22 players plus substitutes and staff were involved in the fracas, which resulted in Cucurella being shown his fifth yellow card of the season while Williams and Levi Colwill were also booked.
