Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho, has been handed a suspended one match Stadium ban and £50,000 by the Football Association for his comments about match officials.
Mourinho had accused match officials for being afraid to award Chelsea penalties after referee, Robert Madley failed to award Chelsea a penalty kick in Chelsea's 1-3 loss to Southampton at Stamford Bridge.
The FA swiftly charged Mourinho for his remarks which "implied bias on the part of a match official".
Mourinho's ban will be enforced if he commits a similar offence within one year.
After the loss to Southampton, Mourinho accused match officials of "always punishing" Chelsea because "there was always a question mark" from the media.
A Chelsea spokesperson stated that the club will release a statement after reading the FA's full reasoning on the matter.
