Football Association fines Aston Villa £30,000

The Football Association has issued Aston Villa with a fine of £30,000 for failing to control their players during a clash against Manchester United earlier this month.

Villa were hit with the charge last week, which related to the conduct of several players following the dismissal of Gabriel Agbonlahor for a challenge on United full-back Ashley Young.

Agbonlahor has since won his appeal against the decision to send him off, but Villa have still received a monetary punishment.

The governing body has also warned the club about their conduct going forward.
