The Football Association (FA), has charged Chelsea and Tottenham, with three breaches of failing to control their players during their Premier League clash on Monday.
Eden Hazard scored in the last minute of the match to ensure Chelsea drew 2-2 with Spurs, a result that crowned Leicester City the new champions of England. However, the Derby was fraught with many ugly incidents and many bookings.
Both clubs have until 6pm, May 9th to respond to the charges.
Spurs midfielder, Mousa Dembele has also been charged for an alleged act of violent conduct. He has until 6pm May 5th to respond to the charge.
An FA statement said; ''It is alleged the player's behavior constituted violent conduct in circumstances where the standard punishment of three matches that would otherwise apply is clearly insufficient.''
The statement added: ''Off the ball incidents which are not seen at the time by the match officials are referred to a panel of three former elite referees.
"Each referee panel member will review the video footage independent of one another to determine whether they consider it a sending-off offence.
"For retrospective action to be taken, and an FA charge to follow, the decision of the panel must be unanimous''.
