The Belgian, who had already scored in the game, shouted at the opposition centre-back and lightly grabbed him by the neck as he lay on the deck.

A fuming Ahmedhodzic then jumped to his feet and pushed Bassette in the neck.

He dropped to the floor and the incident sparked a mass brawl with several players involved from both teams.

Sheffield United star Vinicius Souza sprinted across and charged forcefully into Milan van Ewijk, with the Brazilian perhaps lucky to not be punished.

Callum O'Hare, who used to play for Coventry, also had heated words with Jack Rudoni.

Once things had calmed down, Ahmedhodzic was sent off for violent conduct.

Bassette, who also appeared to wink and kiss his lips towards a Sheffield United player after the incident, got a yellow and no other cards were given.

Fans were left shocked by what happened, with one saying: "Absolute head loss from Ahmedhodzic."
