A ruck ensued, which quickly turned into a mass brawl between the two teams.

This led the brawl to continue from the middle of the pitch to past the touchline.
Eseh was handed a ten-minute sin bin for the high challenge that was deemed “dangerous”;.
However, he was spared sending off due to the height at which English was when contact was made.
Referee Aaron Moore explained the decision, he said: “Its dangerous.
“However, there is a mitigating factor due to loss of height, that is ten minutes.”;
