Chelsea and Tottenham to cop fines for post-match melee

Chelsea and Tottenham are to set to be slapped with heavy fines for not being able to control their players during the hard-fought 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge on Monday night.

The fiercely contested London derby, which ended Spurs' title hopes, saw 12 bookings (9 to Tottenham, 3 to Chelsea) handed out to players by referee Mark Clattenburg.

Spurs midfielder Mousa Dembele was involved in a scuffle with striker Diego Costa at the end of the first-half and appeared to gouge the eye of the striker.

Following the final whistle, things boiled over and both sets of players were involved in a huge bust-up outside the tunnel.

The FA are expected to investigate the incidents and hand out fines and bans to the guilty parties.
