Chelsea and Leicester City were fined 22,500 pounds by the football association after an ugly brawl broke out between the teams at the end of their fiery premier league clash last month. Thomas Tuchel’s side, Chelsea won the match 2-1 that played a very crucial role in the Blues finishing in the top four and confirming a Champions League spot, ahead of Leicester City who finished 5th in the Europa League spot.
Tensions were running high in that game as Leicester had won the fa cup final just a few days earlier and Leicester’s Daniel Amartey was seen stamping on a Chelsea pennant in the dressing room party in Wembley. A tackle by foxes full-back Ricardo Pereira on Ben Chilwell sparked the fight between the players and staff from both sides.
The clubs were charged with a breach of FA rules last month and were fined 22,500 pounds each after admitting a breach of FA Rule E20.1 following their premier league fixture on Tuesday 18 May 2021. Both the clubs admitted their proactive behavior during the closing minutes of the game.
Chelsea went on to win the UEFA Champions League a few days back and securing a Champions League spot for the next season and on the other hand, Leicester bottled their lead against Chelsea and finished outside the Champions League spot for next season.
