Chelsea, Leicester Fined Over Brawl At Stamford Bridge
The Football Association has fined Chelsea and Leicester £22,500 ($31,872) for an ugly brawl that occurred at the end of their fiery Premier League match.
The Blues defeated Leicester 2-1 in a match that helped them finish above Leicester in the Premier League’s top four.
Tensions were high because Chelsea players were enraged by Leicester’s raucous celebrations following their FA Cup final triumph two days before.
In the Wembley dressing room party, Leicester’s Daniel Amartey was seen stamping on a Chelsea pennant.
Emotions reached boiling point near the end of the Premier League match on May 18 at Stamford Bridge.
A clash between players and staff from both sides erupted after a tackle by Foxes full-back Ricardo Pereira on Ben Chilwell. Last month, the clubs were charged with breaking FA rules.
