A number of objects rained down onto the pitch following Cesc Fabregas's late winner in the West London derby, including bottles and coins.

Ivanovic appeared to hold the back of his neck following the incident, suggesting that may have been hit by a coin, with other reports claiming that Nemanja Matic was also hit by an object.

Chelsea sit seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table with seven games of their season to go.
