Ex-ref gives insight on why Chelsea striker Jackson escaped punishment following clash with Morato: Paul Vegas

In an interview with The Sun, Halsey mentioned that Nicolas Jackson was seen allegedly slapping Morato during a heated altercation involving players from Chelsea and Nottingham Forest.

“The Blues forward, who had been substituted, got involved in the 88th-minute flashpoint which started after Forest’s Neco Williams pushed Marc Cucrella into Blues boss Enzo Maresca.

“Referee Chris Kavanagh would not have seen the slap but VAR checked it and decided his actions did not constitute violent conduct because the force used was negligible. Both clubs now face FA charges for failing to control their players.”
