West Brom and Tottenham have both been handed fines by the Football Association for failing to control their players during their Premier League clash at The Hawthorns earlier this month.

West Brom have been fined £25,000 and Spurs £20,000 after both sets of players were involved in a melee in the closing stages of the game, which finished 1-1.

Both clubs admitted to a breach of FA rules during the game, which saw tempers flare after a late James McClean challenge on Spurs' Mousa Dembele six minutes from time.

An FA statement read: "West Bromwich Albion and Tottenham Hotspur have been fined £25,000 and £20,000 respectively after they admitted breaching FA Rules in relation to their game on 5 December 2015.

"The charge was that in or around the 84th minute of the fixture, both clubs failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.

"West Bromwich Albion's charge was heard by an Independent Regulatory Commission because the club had a similar breach of FA Rule E20(a) within the preceding 12 months."
