Players and coaches from the two clubs clashed at the end of match at Etihad Stadium about an hour ago. Manchester City and Chelsea have both been fined by the Football Association following the brawl towards the end of their Premier League match earlier this month. City have been fined £35,000 and Chelsea £100,000 after admitting a charge for failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from provocative behaviour. The fracas occurred in the fifth minute of injury-time at the Etihad Stadium on December 3rd after the City striker Sergio Agüero poleaxed the Chelsea defender David Luiz with a late, high challenge. Agüero was sent off for the tackle and his team-mate Fernandinho followed him shortly afterwards after grabbing Cesc Fàbregas by the neck and pushing him over an advertising board. Fabregas escaped any sanction despite appearing to slap Fernandinho, inciting the Brazilian.
