Arsenal hit with FA fine after Gabriel Magalhaes incident sparked chaos at Leeds

Arsenal have been fined by the FA over their failure to conduct themselves in an orderly fashion following an incident in their Premier League fixture with Leeds last month.

Following a collision between Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes and Leeds forward Patrick Bamford, a scuffle ensued between both sets of players with referee Chris Kavanagh quickly surrounded.

The statement from the FA reads as follows: Arsenal FC have been fined £20,000 for breaching FA rule E20.1 during their Premier League fixture against Leeds on Sunday 16 October 2022.

An Independent Regulatory Commission imposed this sanction after Arsenal FC admitted failing to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during the 92nd minute of the fixture.

Bukayo Saka netted the only goal of the tense affair at Elland Road which saw Arsenal hanging on for large portions of the second half with the action boiling out of control in stoppage time.

Leeds' Bamford bundled Gabriel to the ground in an attempt to press Aaron Ramsdale, with the Brazilian then seemingly kicking out at the 29-year-old, who fell to the ground before players rushed over to the incident that took place in the Gunners' penalty area.

Arsenal were also recently part of an FA investigation following an incident between Gabriel and Liverpool's Jordan Henderson but The FA confirmed that they would not be taking any disciplinary action.
