Why PSV were handed UEFA ticket ban and fine ahead of Arsenal Europa League clash

PSV Eindhoven have been given a huge fine from UEFA in light of fan behaviour in their clash against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday, October 20. Travelling support tore up and threw chairs from the away end, while flares were also thrown from the section.

Just a day later PSV were charged by UEFA and have since been handed their punishment amounting to a fine at the cost of €40,000 (£34,500). A portion of that fine is set to be received by the Gunners to deal with the damages caused by their opposition from the game.

The Eredivisie club are also banned from selling away tickets for their clash against Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt in their final Europa League match. They now have 30 days to pay their portion of the fine to Arsenal after UEFA put out a statement on the incident on Thursday, October 27.
