After Chelsea lost to Everton at Goodison Park, there was a fight at the end of the game, and the striker had to be pulled away from Patterson.
Jackson was very angry that his team lost, and Patterson took the brunt of his anger.
The forward hasn’t done well at Stamford Bridge since moving there from Villarreal, and Chelsea’s loss put them in 12th place, farther from the top four than the relegation zone.
Chelsea was afraid that Jackson would be punished for his throat grab after the fact, which would make the loss even worse.
But the FA thinks that the problem was fixed at the time and doesn’t see a reason to charge Jackson now.
That means Jackson will be free for the Christmas plans.
Mauricio Pochettino said he wanted to make his team stronger in January after the loss on Merseyside.
“We need to be more strict.” Then there will be a full evaluation, and he said, “When the transfer window opens, we’ll see what we can do.”
