Chelsea and Spurs charged over battle at Stamford Bridge

Tottenham and Chelsea have both been charged with failing to control their players and/or officials following clashes at Monday night’s Premier League match at Stamford Bridge, while Spurs midfielder Mousa Dembele has been charged for an alleged act of violent conduct.

The feisty encounter produced 12 yellow cards as well as two mass brawls, in which both players and coaches were involved, as Chelsea fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2, a result which handed the title to Leicester.

The Football Association confirmed a disciplinary case had now been opened, which in Dembele’s case could lead to an extended ban if proven.
