West Ham fined £20,000 by the FA for fiesty Spurs ending

West Ham and Tottenham have both been fined £20,000 for failing to control their players, reports the Evening Standard.

The incident happened towards the end of the London derby, in a game where Tottenham came out 3-2 victors. The players clashed in the 95th minute when Andy Carroll was adjudged to have fouled Fernando Llorente, prompting referee Michael Oliver to award Spurs a free-kick.

Carroll, Llorente, Winston Reid and Eric Dier were all shown a yellow card for their actions in the melee, but the score remained unchanged as Mauricio Pochettino’s side moved up to third in the Premier League table.

An in-form Harry Kane netted twice at the London Stadium, with Christian Eriksen bagging Tottenham’s third. The West Ham goals came from Cheikhou Kouyate and Javier Hernandez.

Spurs full-back Serge Aurier was sent-off 70 minutes into the fixture, after receiving two yellow cards.

Both sides will now have to pay their respective fines.
