"I don't know why I was sent off," Mourinho said in press conference after the match.

"I asked, but the referee refused to speak to me."

The official FA statement said: "Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been fined £8,000 and warned as to his future conduct following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing.

"Mourinho denied a breach of FA Rule E3 in that his behaviour in re-entering the field of play and approaching the Match Referee in an attempt to speak to him, in or around the 90th minute of the game against Aston Villa on 15 March 2014, amounted to improper conduct.

"However, the charge was found proven at a personal hearing on Wednesday 9 April."
