holders Arsenal have been fined over an incident at
Stamford Bridge involving Diego Costa.
Chelsea and Arsenal have received fines from the Football
Association (FA) following the ill-tempered clash between the
teams at Stamford Bridge last month.
According to an FA statement released on Thursday, reigning
Premier League champions Chelsea and FA Cup holders Arsenal
must pay £40,000 and £30,000 respectively and have
been warned over their future conduct for failing to ensure their
players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during the
match.
Arsenal had Gabriel and Santi Cazorla sent off in the 2-0 loss to
Jose Mourinho's team, while the hosts' Diego Costa was later
charged and suspended for three matches for his part in a
flashpoint with Laurent Koscielny that took place late in the first
half.
Costa also clashed with Gabriel, who was dismissed for kicking
out at the striker after a bout of verbal jousting, although the
Brazilian's own three-game ban has since been rescinded by the
FA.
Watford, meanwhile, have been charged for failing to ensure
their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion late in
their 1-1 draw at Bournemouth on October 3.
The club has until 6pm (BST) next Monday to respond to the
charge.
