Chelsea Fined For Town Penalty Protests - Ipswich Town News
Chelsea have been fined £40,000 by the FA for surrounding the referee following the award of Town’s penalty in the Blues’ 2-0 victory at Portman Road last month.
The West Londoners’ players protested furiously with John Brooks after the spot-kick was awarded for Filip Jorgensen’s foul on Liam Delap in the 10th minute, which the striker scored, VAR having upheld the initial decision.
Chelsea admitted the charge and the fine was imposed by an independent regulatory commission.
