Chelsea face FA charge for failing to control players during Huddersfield game

Chelsea FC have been charged by the FA for failing to control their players during their 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.   


The draw at home sealed the Terriers place in the Premier League for 2018/19, but did no favours for the Blues, who now look set to miss out on Champions League football.


During the clash, Chelsea players were displeased with their opponents' perceived gamesmanship throughout the evening, but tensions boiled over after referee Lee Mason awarded a corner during stoppage time only to blowing his whistle for half-time just as the Blues were about to take it.


Things got out of hand as several players approached the match official to protest, joined by their manager Antonio Conte. There was even need for stewards to get between the players and the referee as Mason tried making his way off of the pitch at the interval.


The FA have since levelled a charge against the Blues, with a statement (via the ?Daily Mail) reading: "Chelsea have been charged with failing to ensure their players and/or officials conducted themselves in an orderly fashion. The incident occurred at half-time of yesterday's game against Huddersfield Town. Chelsea have until 6pm on Tuesday [15 May 2018] to respond to the charge."   


Antonio Rudiger had to be dragged away from remonstrating with the match officials by Blues coach Carlo Cudicini, while Cesc Fabregas and Cesar Azpilicueta were also heavily involved.

Chechnya leader makes Mo Salah honorary citizen

Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov has made Egypt’s talismanic striker Mohamed Salah an honorary citizen of the southern Russian region at a farewell banquet held for the eliminated World Cup side.

Oil prices rise amidst uncertainty over Libyan crude exports

Oil prices rose, Tuesday on uncertainty over Libyan oil exports, although plans by producer cartel OPEC to raise output loom. Brent sweet crude futures, the international benchmark for oil prices, were at 74.95 dollars per barrel at 01.04 GMT, up 22 cents, or 0.3 per cent from their last close. The United States West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at 68.33 dollars a barrel, up 25 cents, or 0.4 per cent. Traders said prices were mostly driven higher by uncertainty around oil exports by Libya, a member of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Eastern Libyan commander, Khalifa Haftar’s forces have handed control of oil ports to a separate National Oil Corporation (NOC) based in the East of the country. The official state-owned oil company based in the capital Tripoli, also called NOC, will not be allowed to handle that oil anymore, he said. In comments later confirmed to the media, Ahmed Mismari, spokesman of Haftar’s Libya National Army...
