The ill-tempered match saw both sides reduced to ten men early on, with Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez shown a straight red card just five minutes into the contest, followed by United’s Casemiro before halftime.
The six cautions were issued to Marc Cucurella, Trevoh Chalobah, Enzo Fernandez, Tosin Adarabioyo, and Tyrique George.
This fine marks the latest in a series of disciplinary actions, highlighting a persistent issue for the Blues.
The club has historically received more yellow cards than any other side in the Premier League for the last two seasons, and with 12 bookings and one red in their last five games, they currently rank among the most cautioned teams in the league this season.
