Bristol Rovers and Portsmouth have been fined for failing to control their players in their League One game on Boxing Day.

Players from both teams were involved in "a mass confrontation" after Pompey defender Sean Raggett's challenge on Aaron Collins in the 67th minute.

Referee Scott Tallis booked Raggett and Antony Evans in the aftermath.

The clash came less than a minute after Evans had made it 1-0, while Rovers later grabbed an added-time winner.

Both clubs were fined £2,500 after admitting the Football Association charge.
