Overview
- Both clubs admitted FA Rule E20.1 charges stemming from the late‑game mass confrontation on 31 January at Stamford Bridge.
- The commission’s written reasons said Marc Cucurella was not wholly without fault and noted some Chelsea players sought to incite the crowd.
- Jean‑Clair Todibo’s straight red card was confirmed after a VAR review for grabbing João Pedro by the neck.
- The penalties reflected repeat breaches, including Chelsea’s £150,000 fine last month and recent non‑standard breaches by both clubs.
- The decision is subject to appeal, and staff from both teams have since addressed player conduct internally.
