In one scrap, George Flannagan was thrown to the ground by his own scrum cap.
This led the brawl to continue from the middle of the pitch to past the touchline.
Eseh was handed a ten-minute sin bin for the high challenge that was deemed "dangerous".
However, he was spared sending off due to the height at which English was when contact was made.

Kyle Walker agrees sensational switch to Everton after starting talks on return from Italy with Man City career over
KYLE WALKER has agreed to join Everton on a one-year deal. The England right-back has been locked in talks with Toffees chiefs since his return from his loan spell at AC Milan. 5 5 Everton and current club Manchester City will now thrash out whether it is a permanent deal or just a 12-month loan while he sees out the remainder of his Etihad contract. Fulham also enquired about the 35-year-old but could not afford his package. Walker has jetted out to New York for a whistlestop tour of the Big Apple before heading to Jamaica for a two-week holiday. The 35-year-old won 17 major honours - including six Prem titles - during a glittering eight years at City. And despite having a year left on his Etihad deal, he was axed from their Club World Cup squad and no longer features in Pep Guardiola's plans. A source said: "Kyle has been a wonderful servant to the club. "He has given everything and was key to the success. "But after the disappointment of last season the club has to rebuild." JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS It will bring to an end a love affair with City which began following a £50million move from Spurs in 2017. Jack Grealish has gone from eye-catching showman and heartthrob to miserable bench warmer - and I know who's to blame His trophy haul included six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups and the Champions League. But in January he told City he wanted to explore the option of playing abroad and weeks later signed a six-month loan deal with AC Milan. The Serie A giants were given the option of extending it or making the move permanent but declined. Milan finished a disappointing eighth last season and, like City, are planning a major summer rebuild. Walker won his 96th England cap in the dismal 3-1 defeat to Senegal but is desperate to reach a century. Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel has made it clear his players must be playing regular, high-level football in order to be picked. And Walker is confident Everton under David Moyes is the perfect place to do that. 5 5 5

Club World Cup players all have the same concern about FIFA tournament
The Club World Cup is currently ongoing in the United States of America but players are raising concerns to FIFA about the conditions at their revamped tournament Players at the Club World Cup have serious concerns over the sweltering heat they are being forced to play in. FIFA's new-look tournament kicked off on Saturday at the height of summer in host country the United States of America. The Premier League are represented by Manchester City and Chelsea. The Blues get their tournament underway on Monday night against Los Angeles FC, while City will take on Wydad AC in Philadelphia on Wednesday. That game at Lincoln Financial Field will kick-off at midday Eastern Time, with temperatures expected to exceed 30 degrees Celcius. In preparation, City boss Guardiola has been holding long training sessions in his side's Florida base. Last Friday, their session lasted nearly two hours in temperatures surpassing 32 degrees Celcius. English clubs are of course not used to playing in the scorching summer heat. And City star Tijjani Reijnders has admitted that the players are feeling weary ahead of Wednesday's game. But the Dutchman has insisted that the City squad will be ready to deal with the heat. "It's going to be hard. There are a lot of good teams [in the tournament] and the weather is very hot," Reijnders said. "We're getting used to it and we'll be ready for Wednesday. We take it very seriously. We want to win every tournament we play. This is nothing different." Reijnders is far from the only player to cite the heat as a major issue. Atletico Madrid's heavy defeat to Paris Saint-Germain at the weekend was played in 40 degree Celcius, with both camps citing heat as an issue. Atletico midfielder Marcos Llorente sounded the most alarming warning. He said: "It's impossible. It's terribly hot. My toes were sore, my nails were hurting. I couldn't stop or start. In the end, it's incredible. Since it's the same for everyone, there's no complaint." PSG boss Luis Enrique is also concerned games could be decided by the heat. He added: "The match was clearly influenced by the temperature. The timing is great for European fans, but the teams are suffering." One of the French side's scorers Vitinha pointed to the heat as the source of Atletico's issues. He said: "Of course, it's difficult. It's for both teams. It might be a bit harder for Atlético because they don't have the ball. "For me, it's harder to run after the ball. It's hot here today at this time. I'm all red. It was really difficult, but we're trying to recover as much as possible because at this point in the season, it can be decisive." FIFA has had protocols in place for hot weather Club World Cups since 2014, but the procedure allows for only "cooling breaks," which mean players can take on extra fluids once in each half if the pitch temperature average of heat and humidity exceeds 32 Celsius. During last year's Copa América, which was also held in the United States, there were two incidents of heat-related dehydration.
