Newcastle United and Norwich City have been fined £20,000 and £30,000 respectively after the FA levied a charge of misconduct on the clubs. Newcastle had the fine reduced by £10,000 for admitting the charge - which resulted from an incident in the 82nd minute of the game on the 28th January 2014. Both clubs had a player sent off but Norwich successfully appealled their card and it was rescinded.
The FA website said;
"Norwich City and Newcastle United have been fined £30,000 and £20,000 respectively following an FA charge of misconduct.
The charge was that both clubs failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from provocative behaviour in or around the 82nd minute of their fixture on 28 January 2014.
Newcastle admitted the charge and accepted the standard penalty of £20,000, which includes a third-off for admitting.
Norwich, who had a similar breach earlier this season, denied the charge which was subsequently found proven and were fined £30,000."
