Sunderland fined for touchline melee as ex-boss Lee Johnson is hit with touchline ban

Sunderland have been fined £5,000 after admitting failing to control their players following a touchline melee during the defeat against Lincoln City last month.

The Imps have been fined £4,000 for their part in the injury-time confrontation, which was sparked by a poor challenge by Sunderland's Callum Doyle on Lewis Fiorini.

Sunderland's then-boss Lee Johnson has been hit with a four-game touchline ban and also fined £3,000 after becoming involved in the fracas and clashing with Lincoln's Conor McGrandles.
