Manchester City are fined £35,000 and Chelsea more than double that sum after their players clashed at the Etihad Stadium earlier this month.

Manchester City and Chelsea have both been fined for a breach of Football Association rules after their players clashed on the field during their Premier League meeting earlier this month.

The Citizens have been made to pay £35,000 and Chelsea £100,000, following an incident that was sparked by Sergio Aguero's knee-high challenge on David Luiz in the closing stages of the Blues' 3-1 victory on December 3.

Tensions flared after the horror foul, and Fernandinho joined Aguero in being shown a straight red card for grabbing Cesc Fabregas by the throat and pushing him over the advertising hoardings.

Chelsea feared that they would potentially be hit with a points deduction, with this their fifth charge in the space of 19 months, but that does not appear to be the case with a hefty fine - more than double that of City's - instead being passed down.
