Lampard was angered that Stuart Attwell did not award a penalty for a challenge on Anthony Gordon by Joel Matip.
Post match, he suggested a penalty would have been given if the challenge had been made on a Liverpool player.
The FA said: Lampard breached FA rule E3 "in relation to media comments proven during a personal hearing".
With the game goalless, forward Gordon went over in the area following a challenge by Liverpool defender Matip.
Eight minutes after the incident Andy Robertson scored Liverpool's opener with Divock Origi sealing the 2-0 win.
"It was a penalty, you don't get them at Anfield," Lampard said after the match.
"If that was Mohamed Salah at the Kop end, I think [the referee] gives that. It was a foul on Anthony."
