Report: Ashley Williams, Riyad Mahrez clashed in tunnel, had to be separated
The hostility between Swansea City and Leicester City on Saturday reportedly continued after the final whistle.
According to BBC Sport, Ashley Williams and Riyad Mahrez engaged in a post-match clash in the tunnel at the Liberty Stadium, and had to be separated outside Swansea's dressing room. The Welsh centre-back apparently also attempted to follow the Algerian attacking midfielder on to Leicester's team bus after brushing past reporters.
A Leicester spokesman denied that Mahrez, who scored all three goals in his club's 3-0 victory, had tried to enter Swansea's dressing room, but declined to comment further.
