​FA to hit Chelsea with fine over excess bookings

Chelsea will be fined £25,000 by the Football Association for receiving more than five bookings in Saturday's 2-1 defeat at West Ham, reports BBC Sport.

The club will also be asked by the Premier League to explain why manager Jose Mourinho did not take part in a post-match news conference.

He was sent off at half-time, following the dismissal of his assistant Silvino Louro and midfielder Nemanja Matic.

The defeat was Chelsea's fifth in 10 league games this season.
