sport news Emma Hayes slammed for shoving Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall... as fans claim the ... trends now
Chelsea boss Emma Hayes has been criticised for shoving Arsenal manager Jonas Eidevall with fans suggesting the FA should investigate the post-match spat.
Hayes and Eidevall clashed after Arsenal came out on top in the Continental League Cup final, with Stina Blackstenius scoring a 116th minute winner at Molineux.
The Chelsea boss could be seen pointing at her counterpart before giving him a shove after the match.
Eidevall had been involved in a confrontation with Chelsea midfielder Erin Cuthbert in extra time over a disagreement over a throw-in.
Cuthbert had attempted to use a new ball but Eidevall had pointed out that the game was not being played with a multi-ball system, meaning they had to collect the original ball that had gone out of play.

Hayes has faced criticism for shoving Eidevall post-match, with some claiming the reaction would have been stronger had he acted the same way towards Hayes.
'Switch the roles and that fella is getting a 10 game touch line ban and would be all over front page news,' one fan claimed.
Another wrote: 'Emma Hayes is a total embarrassment if that was the other way round it would be chaos! Fine her and ban her - but treat it the same bloody way!'
'Wonder if the FA will turn a blind eye to Emma Hayes disgraceful behaviour yesterday,' a third added. 'Emma, you've gained a lot of respect over the years, but you lost a large chunk of it yesterday.'
One supporter compared the incident to the infamous clash between former Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel and then Tottenham boss Antonio Conte in the Premier League.
Tuchel was given a one-match touchline ban and fine by the FA over the incident in 2022.
Hayes clash with Eidevall was played down by others, with claims the Chelsea boss was standing her ground and her team.
The Chelsea boss has also faced criticism for using the words ‘male aggression’ to describe Eidevall's behaviour on the touchline.
