Everton and Liverpool hit with different fines after Merseyside derby brawl

Everton and Liverpool have both been fined by the FA after players from both clubs were involved in an altercation in the closing stages of the Merseyside derby earlier this month.

Chaos erupted as a row broke out between Andy Robertson and Jordan Pickford, with both players later booked for their roles in a melee that drew in players from both sides - and several Liverpool substitutes.

Everton have been fined £40,000 and Liverpool £25,000 by an independent regulatory commission, the FA said.

Everton’s punishment is more severe because the club has a previous charge from this season following an incident in its home game with Crystal Palace.

The FA later released a statement that said: "Liverpool and Everton have been charged following a mass confrontation during the 86th minute of their Premier League match on Monday 13 February. It is alleged that both clubs failed to ensure their players and/or benches conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from provocative behaviour."

The clubs had until Monday of this week to respond to the allegations. Both clubs accepted them.

Everton were fined £20,000 by the FA after being charged with "failing to ensure that their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion" during the Premier League game at home to Crystal Palace in October.
