There was a huge bust-up between Chelsea defender Levi Colwill and Wrexham’s James McClean during the friendly match in the early hours of today.
The match, part of Chelsea’s pre-season campaign, took place in California against the Ryan Reynolds-owned Wrexham and ended in a 2-2 draw. Christopher Nkunku and Lesley Ugochukwu scored for Chelsea, while Luke Bolton and Jack Marriott netted for Wrexham.
Despite it being a friendly, the start of the game was not friendly at all, with a huge altercation taking place between Colwill and McCLean.
The incident when the former Sunderland player made a late sliding tackle on Colwill. Although the contact was minimal, Colwill took exception to the challenge and confronted McClean, grabbing him by the scruff of the neck. This ignited a mass brawl at Levi’s Stadium.
