Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic was hit by a lighter while celebrating Cesc Fabregas’ late goal during Chelsea’s 0-1 win against QPR at the Loftus Road. The lighter was thrown from the crowd and struck the Serbian.

It is now being speculated that QPR could be facing an FA investigation over the incident. Both the managers were asked about their thoughts following the match, and this is what they had to say.

“The game was correct in the pitch and correct in the stands, and hopefully correct outside. It is not easy in an emotional game like that,” said Mourinho. "If, at the end of the game, someone threw a pound coin, put it in your pocket. If someone threw a chocolate, eat it. It is no problem, everybody needs a pound!"

QPR manager Chris Ramsey added, "We don't want objects thrown on the pitch, these rivalries can sometimes go too far. I don't know what happened and I didn't see it but, if that's the case, we don't want those people back in the club."
