During the match, Bradley and Chilwell were involved in a minor scuffle.

In first-half stoppage time the Blues left-back, 27, shoved his youthful opponent after they had become tangled up.

Bradley subsequently spread his arms wide, before Chelsea’s stand-in skipper pushed him again.

Conor Gallagher came over to act as peace-maker, before Cody Gakpo backed up his young team-mate.
