Chelsea have been fined by the Football Association after a water bottle was thrown towards the Aston Villa bench at the end of their match in December.
An official statement from the FA reads: "Chelsea FC has been sanctioned for a breach of FA Rule E20.1 that occurred at its Premier League fixture against Aston Villa FC on Saturday 27 December 2025.
"It was alleged that the club failed to ensure its players and/or other relevant personnel around the technical area did not behave in an improper and/or provocative and/or abusive way after the final whistle.
"Chelsea FC subsequently admitted the charge. An independent Regulatory Commission has now imposed a £150,000 fine on the club following a hearing and its written reasons for this can be read below."
