Chelsea fined for West Brom clash

Chelsea have been fined £10,000 by the FA after their players surrounded referee Mark Halsey during last month's clash at West Brom.

The Premiership champions were found guilty of failing to control their players and also warned about their future conduct in games following a disciplinary commission hearing.
A statement from the FA confirmed: "Chelsea have been fined £10,000 and warned as to their future conduct for failing to control their players during a match against West Bromwich Albion last month."
The Blues face a similar charge of failing to control their players from a game against Fulham on March 19. This case will be heard separately but a date has not been fixed.
