"The charge was for failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion," the FA said in a statement on Tuesday.

Both clubs, who were also severely warned over their future conduct, were charged because of the reaction of their players following Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic's red card during West Ham's 2-1 league win on Oct. 24.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was sent to the stands during the ill-tempered affair for confronting referee Jon Moss at halftime and refusing to leave the official's dressing room.
