Following FA allegations, Stoke City and Southampton were hit with fines.

News from the bet365 Stadium as Stoke City and Southampton both admit FA charges

Following a tantrum late in their Championship match at the bet365 Stadium, Stoke City was fined £12,000 and Southampton £8,000.

Regarding incidents that occurred late on Tuesday, October 3, both clubs have agreed t

FA charges. When Wouter Burger was declared not to have been fouled by Ryan Manning in the 87th minute, referee James Bell’s decision resulted in Mehdi Leris’s booking for dissent.

Following the final whistle, Stoke players and technical area staff were accused of acting inappropriately, violently, or provocativ

Southampton was also charged with neglecting to make sure that after the conclusion of the match, none of its employees or players acted inappropriately, violently, or provocatively. Stuart Armstrong’s controversially awarded free kick had given them a 1-0 victory. Stoke was upset at the time that they had not been handed a penalty for a foul on Nathan Lowe, which the PGMOL referee authority had reviewed and determined should have resulted in a penalty.

Carlos Alcaraz of Southampton shoved Stoke goalkeeper Mark Travers in the back to the ground during a subsequent altercation. Burger was then surrounded by players and staff. Ben Pearson was removed by a steward as Joe Aribo attempted to square off with the tall Stoke striker Wesley, who was escorted out by backup custodian Jack Bonham. Burger was booked by Bell and is now one yellow card away from a one-match suspension in the Championship, despite records on the internet suggesting otherwise.

A representative for the Football Association stated: “Both clubs admitted the charges against them and their sanctions were imposed by an independent regulatory commission after a hearing.”

Bell hasn’t officiated a match since that night, but the EFL has unexpectedly assigned him to oversee tonight’s match between West Bromwich Albion and Queens Park Rangers, as well as Saturday’s match between Leeds United and Huddersfield.
