Guus Hiddink helped Leicester claim the title on Monday night but the Chelsea boss took a tumble for his troubles as his players and coaching staff got involved in a touchline altercation with the opposition at the end of their 2-2 draw with Tottenham.
The Dutchman was leading Cesc Fabregas away from the trouble when the crowd was shoved in his direction, causing him to fall down the steps to the tunnel at Stamford Bridge.
The Chelsea boss, who will hand over the reigns to Antonio Conte at the end of the season, can then be seen to topple over backwards, rolling head-first into the dugout.

Luckily the 69-year-old did not appear to injure himself, though it took stewards several seconds to get him back to his feet as the pushing crowd of coaches and players swelled against them.
The altercation centered around an argument between Tottenham substitute goalkeeper Michel Vorm and Chelsea striker Diego Costa who were being separated.
Hiddink was the accidental victim of one of many heated moments between the two sides in what was arguably the most emotionally charged clash of the Premier League season so far.

The game had to be stopped towards the end of the first half when a confrontation between Danny Rose and Willian escalated into a touchline shoving match after Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino went onto the field to intervene.
A dozen yellow cards were shown in the clash, nine to Tottenham players, as Chelsea came back from a 2-0 half-time deficit to draw 2-2 and ensure the Premier League trophy would be going to the King Power stadium and not White Hart Lane.
Spurs boss Pochettino admitted after the game that he had gotten carried away in the emotion of the derby and that his side might have set a bad example.
