Leeds United Fined By FA

Leeds United have been fined £7,500 by the Football Association following their involvement in a 'brawl' at Nottingham Forest. United received the standard penalty for failing to control their players during a league clash at the City Ground on August 15. Leeds pleaded guilty to the offence and were hit with a financial punishment by the governing body. The club were also warned about their future conduct. Forest, who incurred a fine of £45,000 last season following a more serious brawl between their players and those of Derby County, received a penalty of £12,500 while the club's defender, Chris Gunter, received a three-match suspension. Gunter stood accused of provoking the brawl at the City Ground by stamping on Leeds winger Sanchez Watt, 10 minutes from the end of a finely-balanced Championship fixture. The left-back was subsequently charged with violent conduct by the FA and offered a standard suspension of three games.
