Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling is at risk of an FA ban after his club posted a TikTok video revealing an incident during the 4-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Monday night.
The England international played a key role in ending Spurs’ unbeaten run in the Premier League.
Reports state that Nicolas Jackson’s hat-trick led Chelsea to a victory described as one of the wildest games in Premier League history.
The derby had it all, with five disallowed goals, two red cards, and nine VAR checks.
According to reports, a TikTok video from Chelsea’s official account might lead to an FA ban for the forward.
The footage captures a missile thrown at Cole Palmer’s feet after he scored a first-half penalty, with Sterling seen bending down, seemingly throwing it back to the fans. The destination of the projectile remains unclear.
An FA representative has revealed that they are currently scrutinizing the video to assess whether any disciplinary action will be imposed on the Chelsea player.
In the previous season, Richarlison of Tottenham faced repercussions when he was deemed culpable of improper conduct for throwing a lit flare into the crowd while playing for Everton. Consequently, the forward received a one-match suspension and a £25,000 fine.
