JAKARTA - Chelsea has straddled Leicester City and took the driving seat of the Champions League after beating The Foxes 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night.

One of the talking points of the match was during injury time when there was a fight between Chelsea and Leicester players.

The scuffle started when Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger reacted to Ricardo Pereira's tackle on Ben Chilwell.

Leicester striker, Kelechi Iheanacho explained, he tried to cool the situation when anger ran high.

"Antonio Rudiger attacked Ricardo Pereira aggressively and that's what caused the fight," Iheanacho told Sky Sports.

"I told him to calm down," he continued.

Nearly every core and reserve player was involved in the feud, including goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and Kasper Schmeichel, who ran from the 18-yard box each to try and squelch the situation.

In fact, the fighting is unlikely to end when the cursing and shoving continue. In the end, Leicester substitute Daniel Amartey, who wasn't even playing, was shown a yellow card for his involvement.

In between all the drama that happened, Amartey walked from his chair to the field to get involved. He came face to face with Chelsea defender Thiago Silva.

Amartey, of course, has been in the spotlight ahead of the match having previously been filmed removing the Chelsea logo after Leicester overthrew Chelsea 1-0 in the FA Cup final last Saturday.
