Marcelo Bielsa remained impassive throughout the brawl, more concerned with the condition of Alioski.
Speaking afterwards, Parkinson said: "It was a melee, one of their players (Klich) has poured a drinks bottle over one of our player’s head. Both sets of staff have gone into separate them as you don’t want it to escalate into anything.
"I had a go at Pontus, saying he instigated it by running over. There were about 15 people in amongst it trying to keep it calm and he (the referee) has decided to pick me out.”
