Cardiff City receive £20,000 fine

Cardiff City have been handed a £20,000 fine for failing to control their players during their recent match against Norwich City.

The Bluebirds had accepted the charge, but they did not agree with the financial punishment that had been dealt to them.

However, following the meeting of an independent panel this afternoon, Cardiff's appeal against the sanction has been dismissed.

Meanwhile, Norwich accepted the same disciplinary action from the Football Association yesterday afternoon.
