Fleetwood Town manager Joey Barton has reportedly been accused of assaulting his Barnsley counterpart Daniel Stendel after today's League One match.
Sky Sports claim police are investigating Barton after he was involved in a brawl at full-time with the Tykes manager.
The two reportedly had to be separated by stewards and the police after coming together in the tunnel, which reportedly ended in the former Manchester City player assaulting the home side's manager.
Barnsley ran out 4-2 winners over ten-man Fleetwood, who had Harry Souttar sent off in the second half at Oakwell.
One of the home side's goalscorers, Cauley Woodrow, wrote on Twitter that the 'attack' was 'disgusting', before later deleting the tweet.
Woodrow tweeted: 'Firstly @ ftfc to have a manager that can physically assault another manager in the tunnel is disgusting, causing our manager to have blood pouring from his face!!
'People like you don't deserve a place in the game of football you are foul. Secondly fantastic win today @ BarnsleyFC'
The result leaves the Tykes in second place in England's third tier, while Fleetwood are 12th.

Joey Barton has always been a disgrace first as player and now as a manager. the fa should take sanction and his club fleetwood should sack him. Barton is a thug and should be jailed.

Some people are genuinly unsafe to be around other people on a football pitch. If you physically can't control yourself and attack other people out of compulsion then you shouldn't be allowed around professional football. People who repeatadly and deliberatly injure fellow professionals should be banned. This includes Barton, and others like Suarez, Roy Keane. If hurting other professionals is part of your nature then you're not safe to be around them.

Surprised it's taken this long into the season for him to lose his head and do this. Guys got a proper stupid streak to him when he gets angry and its always cost him first as a player and now as a manager.

Ban him from football for double the length of what will hopefully be a prison sentence if it's true which I imagine it is.

If you've ever seen Stendel interviewed and seen how much of a nice guy he is, you'd know it would take Joey Barton levels of cuntery to do this

Remember when Barton posted some philosophical quotes on twitter and people thought he was a changed man?
