Manchester United and Crystal Palace fined £55,000 each over mass confrontation


Manchester United and Crystal Palace have both been fined £ 55,000 ( $ 66,506 ) for a massive confrontation between players in the Premier League earlier this month, the English Football Association (FA) said on Tuesday.


The incident occurred during the second half of the game on February 4 - a 2-1 home win for Manchester United - and Casemiro was directed for appearing to choke Will Hughes by the throat when the two teams clashed after a tackle . The red card is on Anthony.

United admitted they failed to ensure their players behaved in an orderly manner and avoided provocative behaviour, but Crystal Palace denied the allegation.

" An independent regulatory committee subsequently found that the allegations against Crystal Palace had been substantiated and fined both clubs, " the FA said.

Third-placed United host West Ham in Wednesday's FA Cup fifth-round tie, while 12th-placed Crystal Palace travel to Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday .
