Arsenal have been fined £40,000 by the Football Association for failing to control their players during the heated end to the goalless draw against Newcastle.
Mikel Arteta and his players were heavily criticised after reacting angrily to referee Andrew Madley's decision to not award them an injury-time penalty. Arteta clashed with Magpies manager Eddie Howe on the touchline before describing the officiating as "scandalous" in his post-match interviews.
Newcastle legend Alan Shearer later branded Arteta “disrespectful”, while ex-Blackburn striker Chris Sutton said the Spaniard behaved like a “clown”. Arsenal were charged with failing to control their players and that hearing has now led to a hefty fine from the FA.
