Chelsea fined over Man Utd spat

Chelsea players surrounded referee Dean following Mikel's dismissal

Chelsea have been fined £30,000 by the Football Association for failing to control their players against Manchester United on 23 September.

The Blues admitted the charge, which related to the conduct of their players towards referee Mike Dean after he sent off their midfielder Mikel Jon Obi.

Chelsea assistant coach Steve Clark has been given a £5,000 suspended fine for "using abusive and/or insulting words".

Clark and Chelsea have also been warned as to their future conduct.

Chelsea were holding United 0-0 at Old Trafford when Mikel was sent off after 32 minutes for a rash tackle on Patrice Evra.

And the Red Devils went on to win the game 2-0 in what was Avram Grant's first game in charge of the Blues following Jose Mourinho's departure.
