The penalty was issued at a Regulatory Commission hearing this morning when the Blues admitted a charge of failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.

Chelsea were brought to book by the FA as a result of their players' behaviour towards referee Andre Marriner at Pride Park.

Avram Grant's side were leading the Rams 2-0 when midfielder Michael Essien was dismissed by Marriner for apparently aiming an elbow at County striker Kenny Miller in injury-time.

The red card received by the Ghanaian provoked an angry response from some of the Blues players and led to today's ruling.
