Fans spot Cole Palmer's hilarious reaction to touchline brawl vs Nottingham Forest, there's nobody like him

Fans spot Cole Palmer's hilarious reaction to touchline brawl vs Nottingham Forest, there's nobody like him

A touchline brawl ensued during the second half of the Premier League fixture.

Eagle-eyed Chelsea fans spotted Cole Palmer's brilliant reaction to seeing a touchline brawl break out during his side's 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.

Enzo Maresca's side dropped points for the first time since September 1 with the result at Stamford Bridge.

Chris Wood put Forest 1-0 ahead on 50 minutes, before the Blues quickly equalised through Noni Madueke.

It was a scoreless afternoon for Palmer after he netted four times against Brighton last weekend, but he still grabbed the assist for Madueke's goal.

And he was hilariously involved in one of the game's biggest flashpoints when a touchline brawl broke out in the second half.

As Forest and Chelsea players tussled, Palmer was on the scene and appeared to contemplate whether or not to get involved.

But he decided against it, and instead sat down on the pitch to watch the scenes unfold - even as other players approached him.

The attacking midfielder did receive a yellow card during the game, which may have played a role in his decision.

It was in fact Forest who ended the game with 10 players, as James Ward-Prowse was shown a second yellow card on 78 minutes.

But Chelsea couldn't make the extra man advantage count on the scoreline, despite having 22 shots on goal during the match.

The result does, however, mean that they end the weekend in the Champions League qualification places in fourth after seven games.

Speaking after the game, Maresca - who inadvertently had a role at the start of the mass brawl when Forest defender Nico Williams pushed Marc Cucurella into him - said he was pleased with aspects of his side's performance.

He told Chelsea's official website: "In the first half, we didn't concede anything, we controlled the game, we created chances and the performance was very good.

"Compared to Brighton [which Chelsea won 4-2], it was a different kind of game, so you have to learn how to play.

"In the first half, it was top. In the second half, we conceded the goal and it became a bit more up and down. But we scored immediately, and I think we were in control.

"With the red card, most of the time we think 11 against 10 is easier, but probably today it was more difficult because they were with a line of five with more players inside the box defending."
