But as the video shows, it was the celebrations of the Saddlers players, who ran into Sam Hird and pushed him off the pitch, that sparked the incident.

Donohue then came flying into the group of players and appeared to strike an opponent, leading to his early departure.

Chesterfield went on to lose the game 4-1, as Walsall took complete control and showcased their passing ability.
