      <title>Chelsea and West Ham fined heavily for mass brawl at end of London derby</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330453079/chelsea-and-west-ham-fined-heavily-for-mass-brawl-at-end-of-london-derby</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chelsea and West Ham United have been fined 325,000 pounds ($439,140) and 300,000 pounds, respectively, for the mass confrontation at the end of their Premier League game last month, the Football Association said on Wednesday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chelsea battled from two goals down to beat West Ham 3-2 in the London derby on January 31, but nearly 20 players were involved in a melee at the end of the game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;West Ham winger Adama Traore threw Marc Cucurella to the ground before he clashed with Joao Pedro as other players arrived to break up the fight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;West Ham’s Jean-Clair Todibo received a straight red card after a VAR review for clutching Pedro’s throat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“It was alleged that Chelsea FC failed to ensure its players didn’t behave in an improper and/or provocative way around the 95th minute,” the FA said in a statement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“It was also alleged that West Ham United FC failed to ensure its players didn’t behave in an improper and/or provocative and/or violent way at this time.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The FA said both clubs had admitted the charges against them.&lt;/p&gt;
