Burnley manager Vincent Kompany was fined £10,000 and given a two-match touchline ban.
The Belgian coach has been sanctioned for “misconduct in the Premier League match against Chelsea on March 30,” according to an official statement issued by the Football Association.
Kompany will be banned from one forced touchline match, while the second will be suspended for the rest of the year until December 31, 2024.
The statement added that the coach had admitted that his “language and/or behavior” during the match was “inappropriate and/or abusive and/or insulting towards a match referee”, in addition to questioning the integrity of a referee.
Tempers flared after referee Darren England awarded the Blues a penalty in the 40th minute for Lorenz Assignon’s foul on Mykhailo Mudryk.

The Burnley defender also saw a second yellow card, forcing the Clarets to play the second half with 10 men.
Kompany was sent off for protesting on the touchline and later expressed his opinion that the referees had not been good enough throughout the season, after which he was officially charged with misconduct.
“I will continue to say what I think,” Kompany said after the game.
“I don’t shy away from it and I have said it to the referees themselves, the referees, the refereeing has not been good enough this season.
And I think I have said it constructively, also understanding the fact that it is not easy for them. The scrutiny is massive, the pressure on officials is greater than ever.
“I think that the incorporation of the VAR, more opinions and more officials does not make it easier for them to do their job.
‘I have no problem with being fined. I just want everything to be okay.’
Burnley are currently battling relegation, and with six points between them and safety, the loss of their manager for the upcoming visit to Brighton is perhaps a blow.
