Tottenham Hotspur has been fined £20,000 by the Football Association (FA) following a scuffle involving players during their 4-1 Premier League victory over West Ham in the 8th round.
Fine Details
The fine stems from Tottenham’s failure to control their players, leading to improper, provocative, and aggressive behavior. Both clubs were accused of misconduct, but Tottenham accepted the charge and agreed to the penalty.
Postecoglou’s Response
Head coach Ange Postecoglou acknowledged the incident, saying: “Alright, we got together… I think a few of our players were already on edge at that point, so I’d like to think we went out there and at least defended [each other]. I thought our players kept control, but clearly, the FA feels differently.”
Injury Update
In related news, key player Son Heung-min has been sidelined again due to injury.
Tottenham is focusing on a youth revamp, with Postecoglou eyeing England international talent.
