TEAM-MATE SPATS

Chelsea pair Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke are not the first team-mates to clash on a pitch. Mauricio Pochettino called “unacceptable” the altercation over who should take a second-half penalty against Everton on Monday. Cole Palmer, the club’s designated penalty-taker, finally took charge, recovering his composure to score his fourth. LEE BOWYER & KIERON DYER

The Newcastle team-mates came to blows towards the end of a 3-0 home defeat by Aston Villa in

April 2005. Dyer grabbed

Bowyer by the throat and the pair traded punches (right) before being separated by Villa’s

Gareth Barry. Both men were dismissed by referee Barry Knight.

GRAEME LE SAUX & DAVID BATTY

Blackburn stars Le Saux and Batty had a bust-up during a 3-0 Champions League defeat at Spartak Moscow in November 1995. Four minutes into the game, the pair collided and Batty made his displeasure clear. The row became a pushing match before Le Saux – he later insisted in self-defence – struck out, breaking his left hand during a scuffle in which intervening skipper Tim Sherwood took a blow to the cheek.

HUGO LLORIS & HEUNG-MIN SON

Spurs keeper Lloris and striker Son became involved in a heated row on the pitch as the half-time whistle sounded in a 1-0 Premier League victory over Everton in July 2020. Lloris confronted Son over his failure to track back and the pair had to be separated by Giovani Lo Celso and Harry Winks.

DEREK HALES FLANAGAN

Charlton strike partners Hales and Flanagan came to blows during an FA Cup tie against Maidstone in January 1979. The source of the spat was allegedly Flanagan reacting to Hales failing to pass to him by making a disparaging remark about his team-mate’s genitals. Both were sent off. CRAIG LEVEIN & GRAEME HOGG

The Hearts duo rowed during a pre-season friendly at Raith in August 1994. Both men threw punches, but it was Levein’s which did the damage, breaking Hogg’s nose. He was sent off as he was being carried off on a stretcher with Levein suffering the same fate.
