The Football Association has fined Hull £20,000 after they admitted a misconduct charge for failing to control their players in the 2-0 defeat to Arsenal.
The charge relates to an incident in the second half when Kieran Gibbs was shown just a yellow card for a foul on Lazar Markovic as he looked to latch on to a flick-on, despite being the last defender. Tigers players surrounded referee Mark Clattenburg as he produced the caution.
A statement on the FA's website said: "Hull City have been fined £20,000 after admitting an FA misconduct charge and accepting the standard penalty.
"In the 55th minute of the game against Arsenal on 11 February 2017, the club failed to ensure that its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion, contrary to FA Rule E20 (a)."
