The Football Association has fined Crystal Palace's Neil Warnock over comments he made last month.
The Eagles boss suggested that assistant referee Craig Pawson had been 'influenced' by Chelsea players during his side's 2-1 loss to the Blues on October 18.
Palace defender Damien Delaney had been sent off for a second yellow card and Warnock felt the reaction of the Chelsea players contributed to his player seeing red.
Warnock requested a personal hearing after denying the initial misconduct charge and has now been hit with a £9,000 fine and warned over his future conduct.
