Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri has been fined £8,000 by The FA after admitting a charge of misconduct following his sending off against Burnley.

Sarri was sent to the stands by referee Kevin Friend in Monday’s ill-tempered 2-2 draw with the Clarets after attempting to intervene in an altercation between Mateo Kovacic and a number of visiting players.

A statement released by The FA read:

“Maurizio Sarri has been fined £8,000 after he admitted a misconduct charge from The FA and accepted the standard penalty.

“It concerned his behaviour in the 94th minute of Monday’s [22/04/2019] game between Chelsea and Burnley in the Premier League.”

Earlier in the match, Sarri appeared to sarcastically applaud Burnley’s bench for perceived time-wasting tactics, after Ashley Westwood had gone down with cramp.

Frustrations boiled over at the end of the game with members of both benches involved in a melee on the touchline but The FA has confirmed it will take no further action against Chelsea or Burnley for the incident.

Sarri refused to conduct a post-match press conference after the draw, and instead sent assistant manager Gianfranco Zola to face the media.
