Mourinho fined over Villa conduct

ge was found proven at a personal hearing on Wednesday, April 9."

Mourinho, who on Tuesday guided Chelsea into the Champions League semi-finals, has been seething since the loss at Villa, the first of two away defeats in succession in the Premier League.

After the second, at Crystal Palace, Mourinho conceded Chelsea's title chances were over, although they are two points behind leaders Liverpool entering this weekend's fixtures.

Mourinho said recently: "Can we play against Aston Villa again? No.

"The momentum was broken

Somebody broke the momentum."

Mourinho also believes Foy's performance could prove costly for Chelsea.

He said: "The other matches we lost because we didn't play well

You find the natural reasons for losing a match.

"If you go to the Villa match it's difficult

What happened in the defeat against Villa I never learn, I never accept.

"Somebody was very successful in putting a hurdle in front of us

And we crashed the hurdle against Aston Villa and we lost.

"Villa was not a normal football match and we always hope that football matches are normal."

It was the second time Mourinho had been sent to the stands this season.

Following his sending off against Cardiff in October, Mourinho accepted the charge and was fined £8,000.

Chelsea lost 1-0 at Villa Park, with Mourinho dismissed after Ramires had been shown a red card for an over-the-top tackle on Karim El Ahmadi

As well as Ramires, Willian was sent off during the contest.

The Chelsea manager came on to the pitch as a melee ensued involving players from both teams, with the substituted Gabriel Agbonlahor and Villa manager Paul Lambert also on the pitch.

The Portuguese claimed he was only attempting to cool tempers and to ask Foy why he had not sent off Agbonlahor for accosting Ramires, but the referee was not interested and he dismissed the Chelsea manager.

Mourinho then asked to speak to Foy in the referee's room, but he did not want to speak to the Chelsea boss.

The Blues boss then called on the Premier League not to appoint Foy for Chelsea matches.
