Championship club Sheffield United cop £8,500 fine from FA following mass melee in Carabao Cup tie against Wrexham
Opposing players were also involved in a mass melee after Sebastian Revan’s stoppage-time consolation goal in the Welsh outfit's 4-2 loss.
Both clubs admitted that they failed to ensure their players did not behave in an improper and/or provocative way around the 94th minute, with an independent regulatory Commission imposing a four-figure fine on United during a hearing.
Wrexham accepted a standard £2,500 penalty.
