Everton and Liverpool fined for ‘mass confrontation’ during derby

Everton and Liverpool were fined by the Football Association (FA) on Wednesday for failing to control their players following a mass confrontation during the Merseyside derby earlier this month.

Everton were hit with a £40 000 fine while Liverpool will have to pay £25 000 following the incident, which took place in the 86th minute of Liverpool’s 2-0 win at Anfield.

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and Liverpool defender Andy Robertson were both booked after a clash near the touchline before the incident escalated, with a number of players and substitutes from both teams getting involved.
