News about Neco Williams

KIERAN GILL: Footage of the incident at Stamford Bridge was shared on social media immediately afterwards as it showed Jackson, who had already been substituted, appearing to 'slap' Morato while both sets of players engaged in a shoving match. That was instigated when Neco Williams pushed Marc Cucurella into Enzo Maresca , forcing the Chelsea head coach to tumble over.

The incident occurred as a mass brawl broke out among both sets of players towards the end of the 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, with members of coaching staff also involved. Forest defender Neco Williams pushed Chelsea's Marc Cucurella into Blues boss Enzo Maresca before the melee. That led to the brawl taking place, with Maresca and Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo attempting to calm the situation down on the field.

Chelsea's clash against Nottingham Forest descended into a brawl in the closing stages of the game. Forest defender Neco Williams was seen shoving Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella into Blues boss Enzo Maresca. The brawl broke out in the 89th minute of the game, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Enzo Maresca was happy with the 'fighting spirit' of his Chelsea team after a melee broke out in the closing stages of Sunday's 1-1 Premier League draw against 10-man Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge. Virtuality all 22 players plus substitutes were involved in the disorder which was sparked when Forest's Neco Williams pushed Marc Cucurella off the pitch, causing him to knock Maresca to the ground. Cucurella was shown a yellow card for his role in the incident, his fifth of the season thereby ruling him out of Chelsea's game against Liverpool after the international break, whilst Wesley Fofana was also booked and will miss the match at Anfield.

CHELSEA 1-1 NOTTINGHAM FOREST - KIERAN GILL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: Enzo Maresca encouraged his Chelsea players to carry on scrapping after another game in which his team racked up enough yellows to ensure the Football Association's coffers will be boosted. The Blues will be fined £50,000 for picking up at least six cautions against the 10 men of Nottingham Forest , double the £25,000 they paid as punishment for the same offence last month at Bournemouth because they are deemed reoffenders. While a 1-1 scoreline may seem ordinary, this fixture was as frenzied as they come, a contest never more chaotic than when a mass melee was instigated by Neco Williams.

Forest are reportedly aggrieved that Fulham were awarded their winning penalty by VAR while they were denied two spot-kicks by reviews in Stockley Park. It comes after their extraordinary statement in April when they blasted 'three extremely poor decisions' regarding penalty calls that went against them in a 2-0 loss to Everton. The FA charged Nuno Espirito Santo and Neco Williams for improper conduct over comments made after the game while Mark Clattenburg left his role as the club's referee advisor with a warning.

Under-fire boss Rob Page apologised to Wales fans after a 4-0 thrashing to Slovakia and said it is 'up to the powers that be' to decide if he stays in the job. Page saw Wales get dismantled in a Trnava friendly after their dismal 0-0 draw with Gibraltar, the world's 203rd-ranked team, in Portugal on Thursday. The pressure has steadily grown on Page after Wales' flat performance at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar when they finished bottom of their group and their failure to qualify for this summer's European Championship.

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo and defender Neco Williams have been charged with improper conduct by the FA over comments made after their defeat against Everton. Forest have been hampered in their bid to avoid relegation this season by a host of questionable refereeing decisions and felt wronged against Everton after being denied multiple penalty claims.

Forest have been in the eye of the storm this week after appearing to question the integrity of VAR Stuart Attwell in an extraordinary post on X, after three penalty appeals were turned down as Forest lost 2-0 to fellow strugglers Everton last weekend. Nuno (bottom left) called the use of video technology 'a mess' and urged referees to take greater responsibility for their on-field decisions.

MATT HUGHES:Referees' chief Howard Webb will hold peace talks with Nottingham Forest's owners this week at which the VAR audio of their three penalty appeals in Sunday's controversial defeat at Everton will be played to the club.  Forest requested access to referee Anthony Taylor's conversations with VAR Stuart Atwell earlier this week after criticising the latter's appointment for the game at Goodison Park on the grounds that he is a "Luton fan," with refereeing body PGMOL happy to oblige. PGMOL's protocol is to make VAR audio available to any club that requests it, with Webb understood to be planning to play the recordings to Forest in an online meeting this week before their next game against Manchester City on Sunday. 

EXCLUSIVE BY MATT HUGHES: Nottingham Forest will be sent recordings of conversations between referee Anthony Taylor and VAR Stuart Attwell from their defeat by Everton by PGMOL over the next few days, and the audio could be broadcast publicly when the next Referees Mic'd Up programme airs next week.  Mail Sport has learned that one of Forest's three penalty appeals which were not referred to VAR by Taylor is likely to feature in next week's show, in which PGMOL chief Howard Webb and Michael Owen analyse recent refereeing decisions in the Premier League. Forest demanded that audio recordings of the three incidents be made public in a series of extraordinary statements released on Monday, which could see the club, manager Nuno Espirito Santos, defender Neco Williams and refereeing consultant Mark Clattenburg all charged by the FA. 

The Football Assoication have 'formally requested observations' from Nottingham Forest - and Mark Clattenburg - following the explosive row over three penalties that were not given during their crunch clash at Everton. Following what could be a significant 2-0 defeat at Goodison Park, Forest stunned the football world when a message posted on their 'X' account claimed VAR Stuart Atwell was a fan of relegation battlers Luton Town. The visitors had seen three appeals for penalties turned down by referee Anthony Taylor with the decisions endorsed by Atwell at Stockley Park.

IVAN SPECK AT THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: Tottenham Hotspur HOTSPUR STADIUM: Tottenham Hotspur's victory over Nottingham Forest 3-1 on Sunday and promoted Aston Villa to fourth place. As Ange Postecoglou celebrated another triumph, Mail Sport's Ivan Speck gives his player ratings from the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST 3-1 FULHAM - JOE BERNSTEIN AT THE CITY GROUND: Nottingham Forest earned their biggest victory of the season on Tuesday, with Morgan Gibbs-White as the catalyst, noting the formula to climb from the bottom three. In a tumultuous first half for Forest that had been defeated 5-0 by Fulham earlier this season, Gibbs-White assisted and scored. Forest made a joke of their recent run of one victory in 13 games in all competitions, even though their opponents had scored ten goals in four games, starting the evening out of the relegation zone solely on goal difference.

IN CARDIFF, IAN HERBERT. Rob Page was incredibly upbeat in the face of defeat, as usual. 'All's fine.' Everything's great,' he said of his friendship with some of his Wales FA bosses, who less than six months ago, said his deal will be reviewed if the country did not qualify for the European Championships automatically. Following the shootout loss to Poland, the country hasn't qualified for the European Championships at all. And though Page painted a picture of himself as a central character in the forthcoming sequel, he has some troubling questions to answer about his game's administration today.

Wales came one step closer to Euro 2024 on Thursday night with a 4-1 win over Finland in their play-off semi-finals. On a chilly night in Cardiff, Rob Page's side, who are aiming for their third straight European Championships, was up to the challenge. On Tuesday, the team will face Poland, with the winner of that crunch game likely to be promoted to Group D alongside Netherlands, Austria, and France at the tournament in Germany this summer.

Nuno Espirito Santo demanded to know 'why always us?' Following Nottingham Forest's 1-0 loss at Brighton on Sunday, he yelled at them repeatedly being on the brink of refereeing mistakes. After Seagulls midfielder Jakub Moder left with just a ticket for a studs-up lunge on Neco Williams, forest boss Nuno bemoaned the quality of Premier League officiating. The Portuguese are fed up of being the recipient of a string of high-profile incidents involving his relegation-threatened side.

The £272 million, up £25 million from off-field earnings, was Liverpool's highest income stream in 2022-23, but a year after winning the final, the television money decreased by £19 million to £242 million. Matchday's earnings dropped by £7 million due to fewer games being played during the 2013 season, the club's first campaign saw them win both domestic and tournament finals.

MARK CLATTENBURG: Evangelos Marinakis was already familiar with him from my time with the Greek Football Federation, where I was in charge of the Greek Super League's referees. He is a huge football fan, as well as Rio Ave in Portugal and Nottingham Forest in England, and someone who will leave no stone unturned in trying to ensure his clubs are profitable. Marinakis called me last week to inquire about a job.

Clattenburg, who retired from officiating in 2017, has most recently appeared in the BBC TV show Gladiators but will now work on a consultancy basis with Nuno Espirito Santo's side. On Saturday, the Mail Sport columnist was in the director's box at Forest's match against West Ham, as well as club founder Evangelos Marinakis. Forest has been the subject of some contentious officiating decisions this season and has recruited Clattenburg with the intention of improving their knowledge and friendships.

Wales will face Finland in the Euro 2024 Path A semi-finals in Germany next year, and it could face either Poland or Estonia in the finals. Rob Page's side had a rough qualifying campaign, with them ceded ground to Tukery and Armenia and finishing outside of the official qualifying places. In late March of next year, the two teams will meet in Wales.

During Turkey's 1-1 draw with Wales on Tuesday night, the Pundits blasted the 'weak' penalty. Following the result in Cardiff, Robert Page's team will qualify for the Euro 2024 play-offs, finishing third in their qualifying group, four points behind Croatia. After Neco Williams' early strike before Turkey drew level in turbulent fashion in the second half, the hosts had a lead on the night.

WALES 1-1 TURKEY TURKEY TOM COLLOMOSSE AT CARDIFF CITY STADIUM: Despite a disappointing start to Wales' qualifying campaign, Bullish Rob Page backed Wales to win Euro 2024 via the play-offs. Wales knew six points would be enough to guarantee a spot in Germany next year. But ties with Armenia and Turkey on Tuesday, in which they were denied at least one clear penalty by Slovenian referee Matej Jug, meant Croatia defeated them to second position and Page's men defeated Finland, Iceland, or Ukraine in a play-off next March. Wales will face Poland or Estonia at a location to be determined if you win.

Leroy Sane, a Bayern Munich player, was dismissed after arguing an opponent in the face. Sane, 27, played just 49 minutes of Germany's match against Austria, which they eventually lost 2-0, after his ferocious outburst at the start of the second half. Sane is seen following back, before clipping Philipp Mwene's heels in a video that appeared on X, formerly known as Twitter.
