Tottenham Hotspur whacked with FA fine after player behaviour against Newcastle United

Tottenham Hotspur have been hit with a £20,000 fine after the behaviour of their players against Newcastle United last Sunday.

Spurs stars surrounded referee Jarred Gillett after Callum Wilson chipped Hugo Lloris for a goal that was hotly disputed by the home side. Antonio Conte's men were charged by the FA and accepted the five figure charge.

Twice Tottenham players raced towards Gillett after the initial incident and the subsequent VAR check.

An FA statement read: "Tottenham Hotspur FC admitted failing to ensure that its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during the 31st minute, and also accepted the standard penalty."

Former Premier League ref Dermot Gallagher said in the aftermath: "I think it’s a good goal. "It will be interesting, we will get the goalkeepers’ union and the forwards’ union, so this could be a split vote, but for me, there is nothing wrong.

"Lloris goes into him, I don’t know where Wilson can go, and for me, it’s good play.

"It’s a good finish, and I think the referee was right to give the goal. A quick check and VAR concur."
