Chelsea and West Ham heavily fined over Premier League mass brawl | OneFootball

The Football Association has fined Chelsea and West Ham after a mass brawl at the end of their Premier League derby on 31 January, which Chelsea won 3-2.

Chelsea were fined £325,000 (€373,000) and West Ham £300,000 (€344,000). In a statement, the FA said the case alleged Chelsea had failed to ensure their players did not act in an improper or provocative manner around the 95th minute, and that West Ham had failed to prevent improper, provocative or violent conduct at that time.

Close to 20 players were involved as tempers flared at full time.

West Ham winger Adama Traoré threw Marc Cucurella to the ground before clashing with Joao Pedro, with team-mates moving in to separate them.

Jean-Clair Todibo of West Ham received a straight red card after a VAR review for grabbing Pedro by the throat.
