Maurizio Sarri is dismissed
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has been fined £8,000 after accepting a misconduct charge relating to his side's 2-2 draw with Burnley, the Football Association has announced.
The charge follows the Italian's dismissal from the touchline during the closing stages at Stamford Bridge on Monday night.
A statement from the FA read: "Maurizio Sarri has been fined £8,000 after he admitted a misconduct charge from the FA and accepted the standard penalty.
"It concerned his behaviour in the 94th minute of Monday's game between Chelsea and Burnley in the Premier League."
The incident sparked ugly seens on the touchline at the final whistle, the Clarets' point taking them to 40 in the Premier League this season.
