West Ham and Chelsea have been fined \u00a340,000 and \u00a350,000 respectively by the Football Association after both clubs admitted failing to control players.<\/p>\n
The punishment follows the Hammers’ 2-1 win over their London rivals at Upton Park on 24 October.<\/p>\n
Chelsea had five players booked, and midfielder Nemanja Matic and manager Jose Mourinho were sent off.<\/p>\n
West Ham’s players surrounded referee Jonathan Moss after Matic’s challenge on Diafra Sakho in the 44th minute.<\/p>\n
“The charge was for failing to ensure players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion,” read an FA statement.<\/span>
