FA confirm Leeds United and Barnsley punishment for Carabao Cup brawl

Leeds United have been handed a fine of £25,000 following their Carabao Cup second round tie against Barnsley last month.

The punishment relates to an incident in the 67th minute of the contest at Elland Road as Leeds full-back Cody Drameh clashed with Barnsley defender Liam Kitching. The incident sparked a sizeable melee involving players from both sides, which brought a halt to the contest.

John Brooks, the referee on the night, was forced to hand out yellow cards to Drameh and Kitching, while Leo Hjelde was also booked for his part in the scuffle. The FA charged both clubs in the aftermath of the game after deeming they had failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.
