Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have been handed heavy fines for failing to control their players during an ill-tempered Premier League match this month, the FA says.

Chelsea were fined £375,000 pounds ($795,000 NZD) and Spurs £225,000 (477,000 NZD) following incidents during and after the game at Stamford Bridge.

Nine Spurs players were booked, a Premier League record, along with three from Chelsea, who fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2.

Earlier, Spurs' Mousa Dembele was banned for six matches for violent conduct during the same match after he eye-gouged Chelsea forward Diego Costa.

The result ended Tottenham's hopes of winning the title and handed the trophy to Leicester City.

Both clubs were warned as to their future conduct.
