Wesley Fofana Floors Chelsea Security Guard During Game Against Leeds

Wesley Fofana sent a member of Stamford Bridge security staff flying after colliding with her during Chelsea's 1-0 win over Leeds on Saturday.

The incident happened in the 81st minute when Fofana was trying to stop Wilfried Gnonto from collecting a pass near the touchline.

Fofana ran in front of Gnonto to block him but then fell to the ground following a slight push from the Leeds forward.

After hitting the floor, momentum caused Fofana to slide along the grass and into the legs of a steward dressed in a high-visibility vest.

The steward was wiped out but, instead of checking on her wellbeing, Fofana and Gnonto both directed their attention towards the referee to appeal for a free-kick.

Leeds substitute Rasmus Kristensen had been warming-up nearby and he asked the woman if she was ok.

Fortunately, she was fine and was quickly back on her feet.

Fofana had earlier scored the only goal of the game.
