West Ham and Chelsea have been fined after admitting Football Association charges of failing to control their players.

Both clubs were charged over the reaction of their players in the aftermath of Nemanja Matic's red card during West Ham's Premier League win on October 24.

West Ham have been fined £40,000 and Chelsea £50,000, while both clubs have also been severely warned about their future conduct.

The punishments draw a line under the fallout from Chelsea's 2-1 defeat at the Boleyn, where Jose Mourinho and his assistant Silvino Louro were sent to the stands.

Mourinho has since served a one-match stadium ban for his half-time altercation with referee Jon Moss, while Louro's improper conduct charge was downgraded to a warning.
