FRANK LAMPARD triggered a fight between Southampton and his Coventry side after celebrating getting a point at St Mary’s in front of the home fans.
The Premier League legend was clearly chuffed for his side to see out a 1-1 draw despite going down to ten men in the 47th minute.
But that energy came in the form of a fist pump celebration directed towards home Southampton fans.
Southampton attacker Leo Scienza was the first to confront the boss.
But players and staff from both sides quickly got stuck in with each other as the scenes escalated.
England international Taylor Harwood-Bellis was among those who got particularly in Lampard’s face in the shocking scuffle.
The 47-year-old’s actions have been labelled everything from “s***house” to “embarrassing”.
Some fans loved Lampard’s actions, joking: “Lampard rattling the whole of the south coast”.
But others were less impressed, with another saying: “What rattled Lampard so much that he caused fights at the end? Celebrating his 1-1 draw”.
Coventry City are currently six points clear at the top of the Championship table.
