Chelsea have been charged by the FA for two breaches of the rules after failing to control their players during the 1-1 draw against Liverpool on Saturday 28 August.

Thomas Tuchel’s side played 45 minutes with 10-men at Anfield due to Reece James being sent off on the stroke of half-time.

Kai Havertz put Chelsea ahead with a stunning looping header, but in first-half stoppage time, Sadio Mane’s effort was handled on the line.

Anthony Taylor reversed his initial decision and awarded a penalty to Liverpool, as well as showing James a straight red card. Chelsea were left furious, and were double damned after Mohamed Salah slotted home the penalty.

The FA has given Chelsea until Friday to respond to the charges.
