Manchester City have been fined £35 000 ($44 000,
40 000 euros) by the Football Association for a failure to control their
players against Liverpool earlier this month.
City pleaded guilty to a misconduct charge last week after
several players were seen protesting against the award of a penalty to
Liverpool in a Premier League match at Eastlands on March 19.
They continued to complain even after James Milner had scored
from the spot to give visitors Liverpool the lead in a match that ended in a
1-1 draw.
"Following an independent regulatory commission hearing,
Manchester City have been fined £35 000 after the club admitted an FA
misconduct charge," said a statement issued by the FA, English football's
governing body, on Monday.
"City breached FA Rule E20(a) in that in or around the 50th
minute of the game against Liverpool on 19 March 2017, the club failed to
ensure that its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion."
