Hazard was sent off after Morgan refused to give the ball back and lay on it, prompting the Belgian to kick the ball from under his body to dislodge the ball.

Interim Chelsea coach Rafael Benítez confirmed after the match the ball boy, who describes himself as a "LAD", had entered the visitors' dressing room to apologise to Hazard, who also said sorry for the tame kick and they shook hands.

"The ball boy has been in our dressing room talking with Hazard. They have apologised to each other," Benítez said.

Morgan was asked by police if he wanted to press charges against Hazard however declined.

A South Wales Police spokesman said: "South Wales Police can confirm that the Swansea City Ball Boy has been interviewed in the presence of his father and no complaint has been made. The Ball Boy did not sustain any injuries."
