Sheffield United fined £20,000 after Southampton incident
It comes after a flare up between players at Bramall Lane
Last updated 16th Mar 2021
Sheffield United and Southampton have both been fined £20,000, after confrontations between players at Bramhall Lane earlier this month.
The FA says both clubs breached their rules when tempers boiled over in extra time during Saints' 2- nil win on March 6th.
It happened after Blades midfielder John Fleck fouled Southampton's Che Adams.
Fleck was shown a yellow, but Southampton players demanded more from referee Paul Tierney.
Blades strike Oli McBurnie and Saints defender Jannik Vestergaard were then also booked.
The FA says: "Both clubs admitted failing to ensure that their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during the 90th minute and accepted the standard penalty.'"
