COVENTRY City have been sanctioned by the Football Association (FA) following the club’s game against Southampton in December last year.

The FA alleged both clubs failed to ensure their players and/or technical area staff did not behave in improper and/or provocative way after the final whistle.

A regulatory commission imposed a fine of £30,000 on Coventry and £22,000 on Southampton.

Both clubs accepted the charges against them.

The game took place on Saturday, December 20 at St Mary’s Stadium and ended in a 1-1 draw.
