Jose Mourinho and Ashley Cole have both lost their appeals against the Premier League's 'tapping up' verdict, but have seen their fines reduced.

After a hearing in central London, Mourinho and Cole saw their guilty verdicts upheld but both had their fines cut to £75,000.

That signifies a major reduction for Chelsea boss Mourinho who was initially hit with a £200,000 sanction.

Cole has had his financial punishment reduced by 25 percent having originally been ordered to pay £100,000.

"In regard to the appeals by Ashley Cole and Jose Mourinho, the Premier League appeals committee has reminded themselves of the evidence in both cases and received submissions from the respective legal representatives," read a Premier League statement.
