Chelsea Fined £11,000 by UEFA After Fan Trouble During Europa League Win Over Malmo

Chelsea are to be fined £11,000 by UEFA, after they were charged for fan trouble during their Europa League trip to Malmo in February.

The Blues won the round of 32 first leg by two goals to one in Sweden, but reports of unsavoury incidents involving visiting supporters - including a pitch invasion where one supporter accosted Eden Hazard for his shirt - soon overshadowed the match itself.

An announcement was swiftly made confirming both Chelsea and Malmo had been charged in relation to the incident, and Sky Sports have confirmed via Twitter that the Stamford Bridge side have been slapped with an £11,000 fine.
