Middlesbrough and Swansea players clashed after Ben Cabango shoved Isaiah Jones

Middlesbrough and Swansea City have each been fined £5,000 for failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.

The two Championship clubs were charged after Middlesbrough's 2-1 victory at the Riverside on 27 August.

The Football Association said each club "accepted the standard penalty".

Swansea defender Ben Cabango was sent off following an 87th-minute clash with Isaiah Jones, which led to a melee involving players from both sides.

Cabango was shown a second yellow card for shoving Jones to the ground.
