West Ham fined by the FA for failing to control players

West Ham have been fined £30,000 by the Football Association for failing to control their players in their recent 0-0 draw at Southampton.

The sanction relates to an incident which followed the dismissal of West Ham goalkeeper Adrian for handling the ball outside his penalty area.
The red card was subsequently overturned on appeal.
West Ham admitted a charge of failing to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.
Adrian was sent off by referee Craig Pawson for the first time in his career after losing possession under pressure from Southampton striker Sadio Mane and falling on the ball.
The Spaniard, 28, appeared to touch the ball with a hand to prompt the red card which was met with protests from a number of West Ham players.
Southampton, who are third in the Premier League, face Liverpool at St Mary's on Sunday (16.15 GMT) while the Hammers, who are eighth, face a London derby against Tottenham at White Hart Lane (12.00 GMT).

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn
