BREAKING: Chelsea vs West Ham descends into chaos as red card dished out after brawl

Tensions boiled over at the end of Chelsea's dramatic win over West Ham. In the dying embers of stoppage time, Jean-Clair Todibo was given his marching orders after he was adjudged him to have handled Joao Pedro in a 'violent manner'.

Adama Traore sparked the conflict when he threw Marc Cucurella to the floor in frustration. While the Hammers winger pleaded for a corner, Joao Pedro leapt to his teammates' defence and shoved him towards the advertising board.

Traore stumbled, and charged towards the Chelsea striker. Trevoh Chalobah suddenly burst onto the scene and stopped the Spaniard from getting his hands on Pedro. Tomas Soucek, albeit very briefly, tried to deescalate the situation until Todibo put his hands around the neck of the Blues talisman.
