CHELSEA have been handed a triple disciplinary blow after Jose Mourinho, Rui Faria and Ramires were all charged by the Football Association for their actions during last weekend's loss to Sunderland.

The match was Mourinho's first loss in charge of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, ending a 77-match unbeaten run for the Portuguese manager.
And Mourinho could not hide his anger at the final whistle, launching a sarcastic rant about the officials and referees boss Mike Riley.
Assistant boss Faria was sent to the stands during the game after angrily confronting the match officials and needing to be held back by Mourinho and other Chelsea staff.
Meanwhile, Ramires has been charged after hitting Sebastian Larsson with a flailing arm during the match that was missed by referee Mike Dean, who failed to see the incident despite being just yards away.
However, the Brazilian still faces retrospective action under new FA rules and a possible ban that could prematurely end his domestic season.

A FA statement read: "The FA has charged three members of Chelsea's staff following their fixture against Sunderland at Stamford Bridge on April 19, 2014.
"Chelsea midfielder Ramires has been charged by The FA for violent conduct following an off-the-ball incident that was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.
"Rui Faria, Chelsea's assistant manager, has been charged with two counts of misconduct.
"It is alleged that in the 83rd minute of the fixture, Faria used abusive and/or insulting words towards the fourth official (Phil Dowd). It also alleged that Faria's behaviour following the match referee's (Mike Dean) request that he leave the technical area amounted to improper conduct.
"Jose Mourinho has been charged with misconduct in respect of post-match comments he made following the fixture.
"It is alleged that Mourinho's comments constitute improper conduct, in that they call into question the integrity of the referee appointed to the above fixture and/or the integrity of Mr Mike Riley, general manager of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited, and/or the comments bring the game into disrepute."
