Tottenham and Chelsea will be awaiting communication from the FA after ugly scenes at Stamford Bridge on Thursday evening.
Ange Postecoglou and Spurs crashed to yet another defeat in the Premier League, losing 1-0 after a second-half header from Enzo Fernandez.
Tottenham had little fight in them, but for an incident in the first half where Cristian Romero shoved Levi Colwill, creating a mass confrontation on the pitch.

FA to charge Tottenham and Chelsea
Keith Hackett instantly admitted that Tottenham and Chelsea will be charged by the FA for their players’ actions in the confrontation.
The ex-FIFA referee and PGMOL chief praised Craig Pawson for his role, as he applied the protocol perfectly before booking Romero and Chalobah once things calmed down.

“Both clubs will be charged by The FA for failing to control their players,” Hackett exclusively told Tottenham News.
“Mass confrontation protocol was carried out perfectly by Craig Pawson, who will have been very happy with his first half performance.”

Postecoglou on final Tottenham chance
Daniel Levy has backed the Australian so much; what is one more defeat to him?
Postecoglou has got Tottenham into the quarter-finals of the Europa League, starting next Thursday with the first leg against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Should Spurs lose to the Germans and miss out on silverware and automatic qualification to the Champions League, a new manager will be needed.
Romero also looks to be on the way out, and at this stage, not many Tottenham fans will mind.
Atletico Madrid and Diego Simeone are said to be interested, and with his injuries and apparent want to represent his country over his club, the reasons are mounting to get rid.
Tottenham have now lost 16 of their 30 games in the Premier League this season, a dreadful record that is only better than the current bottom four.
With their prize for that likely to be a charge from the FA, the bad news just keeps on coming for Levy and Postecoglou, who must want this season to end as soon as possible.
