Fulham fined £20,000 by FA for failing to control players

The Football Association has fined Championship side Fulham £20,000 for failing to control their players during a recent match against Leeds United.

The Cottagers were charged after a number of their players surrounded the referee when Konstantinos Stafylidis was sent off in the 51st minute.

Fulham eventually suffered a 3-0 defeat to Leeds at Craven Cottage on March 18.

A statement from the FA read: "Fulham have been fined £20,000 after the club admitted an FA charge of failing to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion."

Fulham are 20th in the league table.
