"It follows incidents which occurred in the 45th and 87th minutes and also at the end of their fixture at Stamford Bridge on Monday 2 May 2016.
"Prior to this fixture, Chelsea had breached FA Rule E20 on four separate occasions and Tottenham Hotspur twice since November 2014.
"Following the Independent Regulatory Commission hearing, both clubs were also warned as to their future conduct."
The match ended in an ill-tempered confrontation between most players and many of the staff in both the Spurs and Chelsea dugouts. The match ended in a 2-2 draw which ended Spurs' Premier League title hopes.
