SHOCKING! Chelsea SLAPPED with £75,000 FA Fine After Shattering New Premier League Record!
Chelsea faces a potential £75,000 fine from the FA after setting an unwanted Premier League milestone in their match against Newcastle United. Although Chelsea secured a narrow 2-1 win, six players received yellow cards, triggering the hefty penalty.
The Blues, under Enzo Maresca’s guidance, bounced back from a loss at Anfield, with Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer’s goals securing the victory. Despite Alexander Isak’s equalizer for Newcastle in the first half, the Magpies remain in 12th place.
Players, including Robert Sanchez, Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, Noni Madueke, Pedro Neto, and Christopher Nkunku, along with Maresca, were all cautioned. According to Kieran Gill of the *Daily Mail*, Chelsea will face this £75,000 fine due to accumulating six or more bookings in three Premier League games this season. The other two matches occurred against Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth, bringing Chelsea’s total fines this season to £150,000.
Despite these disciplinary setbacks, it was noted that these games didn’t have a notably “dirty” atmosphere, suggesting that many of the cautions were preventable. The FA has stated that the fines will be reinvested into the sport, minimizing the financial impact on Chelsea in the broader financial picture.
