Conte was dismissed just before halftime for disputing a decision by referee Neil Swarbrick in the Premier League game at Stamford Bridge, which his team won 1-0.

The Italian subsequently apologised but told British media he had been frustrated with Swansea's time-wasting.

The FA said in a statement that Conte had admitted the misconduct charge and accepted "the standard penalty" for the offence.
