Chelsea charged by FA over chanting

Chelsea FC has been charged by the Football Association for breaching FA Rule E21 following discriminatory chanting by supporters during their Premier League match away at Fulham on 24 August. The alleged chanting, which occurred in the ninth minute, included references to religion or belief, and the club has been charged with failing to ensure their supporters behaved in an appropriate manner. The incident occurred despite Chelsea winning the match 3-2, after which the club issued a statement urging fans to refrain from sectarian chanting.
