The incident came with ten minutes left of the match, which Chelsea won 1-0.

Fofana, 22, found himself in a race to the ball with Leeds ace Wilfried Gnonto.

It was the Chelsea man who got there first, and a slight nudge from Gnonto sent him tumbling to the turf.

Fofana then slid along the surface and accidentally took out a steward who was standing at the side of the pitch.

The £70million summer signing hit the steward in the legs, causing them to lose their footing and crash to the ground.

Fofana had earlier headed the Blues in front from a Ben Chilwell corner.

And that was how it finished, as Graham Potter's side held on to claim a valuable three points against relegation threatened Leeds.

Fofana's goal was just the seventh time Chelsea have found the back of the net since November 6.
