Chelsea and Tottenham fined for Battle of the Bridge

Chelsea and Tottenham have been handed fines of £375,000 and £225,000 respectively following the fall-out from their feisty Premier League encounter at Stamford Bridge on May 2.

The match produced 12 yellow cards as well as two mass brawls involving players and coaches from both sides, as Chelsea fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 - a result which handed the title to Leicester. Matters came to a head again at the full-time whistle when a melee in the tunnel resulted in Chelsea’s interim manager Guus Hiddink being pushed to the ground.

Both clubs were subsequently charged with three counts of failing to control their players, while Spurs midfielder Mousa Dembele was handed a retrospective six-match ban for violent conduct, after clawing his fingers down the face of Chelsea forward Diego Costa.
