Chelsea and West Ham hit with fines for confrontation involving both sets of players in January PL clash

  • On Feb 25, the FA fined Chelsea FC 325,000 and West Ham United 300,000 pounds after a Regulatory Commission hearing upheld charges.
  • Late in injury time, after Chelsea came from 2-0 down to lead 3-2, nearly 20 players were involved in a melee following a challenge between Marc Cucurella and Adama Traore.
  • Evidence including VAR review and video footage shows Jean‑Clair Todibo was sent off for grabbing Joao Pedro by the throat, supported by the referees' report.
  • Both clubs admitted the charges, and Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior spoke to players while an unnamed West Ham executive met with head coach Nuno Espirito Santo and captain Jarrod Bowen about conduct.
  • Both clubs were charged by the FA on February 4, alleging Chelsea FC failed to prevent improper or provocative conduct around the 95th minute and West Ham United failed to prevent improper, provocative, or violent conduct.
