QPR fined £7,500 for failing to control players against Fulham

QPR have been fined £7,500 by the Football Association for failing to control their players during the recent west London derby against Fulham.

Referee Lee Mason was surrounded by Rangers players in stoppage-time after he awarded Fulham a penalty, which was missed by Sone Aluko.

The FA tweeted on Friday: "Queens Park Rangers have been fined £7,500 and warned as to their future conduct after admitting an FA misconduct charge.

"The club failed to ensure players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion in the 95th minute of the game against Fulham on October 1, 2016." 

Aluko's miss - the Whites second from the spot in the game - meant Rangers won 2-1 at Craven Cottage, thanks to goals from Conor Washington and Idrissa Sylla.

A QPR statement on Friday confirmed: "QPR have admitted to the charge and been fined £7,500 and warned as to our future conduct.

"The club will be making no further comment."
