Norwich have been fined £15,000 by the Football Association after accepting a charge of failing to control their players during the recent defeat to QPR.
The fine follows the Championship club's 2-1 loss at Loftus Road which saw Martin Olsson shown a red card just a couple of minutes after kick-off.
Referee Scott Duncan sent off the Sweden defender for handling the ball on his goal line and awarded QPR a penalty.
Duncan was confronted by several of City's players over his decision, with Alexander Tettey earning a yellow card for his objections, before Tjaronn Chery fired wide for the hosts from the spot-kick.
The FA said in a brief statement: "Norwich City have been fined £15,000 after the club admitted an FA charge of failing to control its players.
"The incident occurred in the second minute of the game against Queens Park Rangers on November 19 2016."
