West Brom and Chelsea fined by the FA

West Brom and Chelsea were tonight handed fines by the Football Association after they charged with failing to control their players.

Both sides have been punished for an incident that occurred around the 58th minute of the 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge on January 13.

A flare up, following a challenge by Claudio Yacob on Chelsea forward Diego Costa, prompted a furious response from both sets of players.

Albion must pay £35,000 for their part in the melee, while Chelsea have been hit with a £65,000 bill. Referee Anthony Taylor had to deal with numerous flashpoints during the game.

It's the second time in as many months the Baggies have been hit with such a charge. They were fined £25,000 after admitting to breaching FA rules in last month's 1-1 draw with Tottenham.
