Nairobi resident magistrate Catherine Mwangi fined Roy Kirimi and Kenny Marango the equivalent of 70 dollars (56 euros) each for disturbing the peace after they fought over the outcome of Saturday's match.

The two men face 50 days in prison if they fail to pay the fines and after being sentenced on Tuesday appealed for leniency, saying they could not afford the penalty, according to court officials.

Mwangi was unsympathetic to the men whose fisticuffs cause a major disruption and damage to the bar where they watched the game, the officials said.

"Tell Manchester and Chelsea to pay the fines for you," they quoted Mwangi as telling the pair.

The English Premiership is hugely popular in Kenya and football fans regularly crowd bars around the east African nation to watch the matches on satellite television and cheer on their favourite teams.

In Saturday's game, Chelsea wrapped up their second consecutive Premiership title in style at home by beating nearest rivals Manchester United 3-0.
