Aston Villa fined £60,000 for Leicester City scuffle

Aston Villa are fined £60,000 by the FA for failing to control their players in a Premier League clash against Leicester City on January 10.

Aston Villa have been fined £60,000 by the Football Association for failing to control their players during a Premier League match against Leicester City.

A melee broke out between both teams after referee Michael Oliver sent off Leicester's Matty James and Villa's Ciaran Clark towards the end of the Foxes' 1-0 victory.

Leicester were fined £20,000 for the incident, and now Villa have also been punished.

A statement from the FA said: "The club admitted failing to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from proactive behaviour."

Paul Konchesky scored the one and only goal of the match.
