The club had admitted the charge, which related to the conduct of Chelsea players towards referee Mike Dean following the sending-off of Mikel John Obi during the Old Trafford clash on September 23.

The Football Association Regulatory Commission hearing also fined Blues' assistant first team coach Steve Clarke £5,000 - suspended until the end of the season - after he admitted a charge of using abusive and/or insulting words towards the match officials at the end of the same match.

The commission took into account Clarke's exemplary record over 20 years in football - but he was also severely censured and warned as to his future conduct.

Midfielder Mikel served a three-match ban immediately after the FA rejected an appeal against his red card.
