FINED: Sunderland have been fined £20,000 by the Football Association
SUNDERLAND have been fined £20,000 by The Football Association in relation to their home draw with Everton earlier this month.
The Black Cats have admitted an FA misconduct charge and accepted the standard penalty of £20,000 for failing to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion in the 76th minute of the game after referee Lee Mason had awarded the Toffees a penalty.
Leighton Baines scored the spot-kick to earn his side a point at the Stadium of Light.
