Watch: Luis Enrique pushes Joao Pedro to the floor as PSG rage at the end of Club World Cup final defeat by Chelsea

Chelsea dealt the European champions a shock defeat in the final in New Jersey, winning 3-0 thanks to two goals from Cole Palmer and one by Joao Pedro, all scored before half-time.
PSG finished the game with 10 men after Joao Neves pulled Marc Cucurella's hair. And emotions boiled over in the heat as the players of both sides clashed in the middle of the pitch after the final whistle.
Enrique appeared to throw his left hand at Joao Pedro's throat, pushing the forward to the floor, with goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma also involved, before being pulled away from the situation.
