Chelsea has been charged with failing to control its players after Michael Essien was sent-off during its 2-0 Premier League win away to Derby last weekend.
Several Chelsea players, including England captain John Terry, surrounded referee Andre Marriner after he'd issued a straight red card to Essien for a push on Kenny Miller in stoppage time.
The Football Association charge came as the governing body rejected Essien's appeal against his expulsion.
"Chelsea FC have been charged for the behavior of Chelsea players towards referee Andre Marriner during the match at Derby County on Saturday November 24.
"The club were charged with failing to ensure that its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion following the sendingoff of Michael Essien for violent conduct, and have until 12 December to respond."
