Chelsea fined by FA

Chelsea have been fined £30,000, severely censured and warned as to their future conduct for failing to control their players during the Barclays Premier League match against Manchester United 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 Obi John Mikel served a three-match ban immediately after the FA rejected an appeal against his red card.
