Chelsea were fined 40,000 pounds ($78,540) on Thursday for the disorderly behaviour of their players during their 2-0 Premier League win over Derby County on Nov. 24.

An FA statement said the charge followed the players' conduct towards referee Andre Marriner after Ghana midfielder Michael Essien had been sent off in stoppage time.

Essien was suspended for three matches for pushing Kenny Miller in the face.

Last year the west London club were fined 30,000 pounds, severely censured and warned as to their future conduct after admitting a similar charge following the 2-0 defeat at Manchester United on Sept. 23.
