Chelsea will be fined £25 000 and asked for their observations on three disciplinary incidents that occurred in Saturday's eventful 2-1 defeat at London rivals West Ham United.
An FA spokesman said on Monday that the automatic fine would be implemented because six players received a yellow card in the Premier League game. One of them, Nemanja Matic, was sent off, making seven cautions in all. That incident upset coach Silvino Louro and manager Jose Mourinho who were both sent to the stands.
