Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur sanctioned

An independent Regulatory Commission has sanctioned Aston Villa FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC for the mass confrontation that occurred at their FA Cup match on Saturday 10 January. 
 
It was alleged that both clubs failed to ensure their players and/or officials did not behave in an improper and/or provocative way after the final whistle. 
 
Tottenham Hotspur FC and Aston Villa FC subsequently admitted the charge against them. The Regulatory Commission imposed a £125,000 fine on both clubs, and their written reasons for these decisions can be seen below.
