Scot Bennett's red card for Newport was their fourth in as many matches

Newport County and Grimsby Town have been fined £1,000 by the Football Association for failing to control their players during their match.

The FA says the clubs "failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion" in the 36th minute.

The flashpoint came after a foul from Scot Bennett that saw the Newport player sent off.

Despite having 10 men for almost an hour, Newport came out 1-0 winners at Rodney Parade on 6 February.
