During the game it was alleged a number of Chelsea fans sung a derogatory song about Tottenham featuring anti-Semitic language.
At the time Chelsea issued a strongly-worded statement condemning a small section of their travelling support for behaviour they said had "shamed the club".
Chairman Bruce Buck said the club "will not rest until we have eliminated all forms of discrimination from our club".

Chelsea could have faced a partial closure of Stamford Bridge in European competition if found guilty - but there was little explanation from European football's governing body for the decision.
A UEFA statement simply read: "The CEDB [control, ethics and disciplinary body] has decided to close the disciplinary proceedings against Chelsea FC."
