Liverpool and Newcastle coaches fined and banned for furious touchline bust-up

Coaches from Liverpool and Newcastle United have received their punishments from the Football Association after emotions spilled over during last month's Premier League clash between the two sides.

The Reds edged out a dramatic victory over their visitors at Anfield thanks to a last-gasp Fabio Carvalho strike deep into added time. The late winner prompted raucous celebrations around the stadium - and a bust-up between rival coaches on the touchline.

Liverpool goalkeeping coach John Achterberg could be seen making an explicit gesture with his hand towards the Newcastle dugout, while Magpies head of performance Daniel Hodges was also involved in the heated altercation. The duo have since been fined four-figure sums and banned from the touchline for one fixture each.
