FA fine Chelsea players over discipline

Chelsea have been fined £10,000 and warned as to their future conduct by the Football Association for the behaviour of their players in March’s Premiership match at Fulham.

The club were charged with failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during the match with their neighbours at Craven Cottage, which the champions lost 1-0.

The club denied the charge and requested a personal hearing, and the FA’s disciplinary commission today found the charge to be proven.
