The Portuguese manager was sent off by referee Chris Foy for walking into the pitch during the match; following a touchline struggle sparked by an ugly foul on Karim El Ahmadi by Ramires that earned the Chelsea midfielder a red card - but the self acclaimed 'special one' claimed that he had only gone onto the pitch to act as a peacemaker.
After he was charged, the 51-year-old manager requested a personal hearing before the FA - which was needless; and he has been very critical of Foy since the game.
Following proper investigations and considerations, the FA reached an agreement to punish the Blues' boss for his misconduct.
A statement on the FA website 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 ... amounted to improper conduct.
"However, the charge was found proven at a personal hearing on Wednesday, 9 April."
Chelsea will visit Swansea for their 34th Premier League clash this Sunday.
