West
Ham and Chelsea have been fined after admitting Football Association charges
of failing to control their players.
Both clubs were charged over the reaction of their players in the aftermath
of Nemanja Matic's red card during West Ham's Premier League win on October
24.
West Ham have been fined £40,000 and Chelsea £50,000, while both clubs have
also been severely warned about their future conduct.
The punishments draw a line under the fallout from Chelsea's 2-1 defeat at
the Boleyn, where Jose Mourinho and his assistant Silvino Louro were sent to
the stands.
Mourinho has since served a one-match stadium ban for his half-time
altercation with referee Jon Moss, while Louro's improper conduct charge was
downgraded to a warning.
