West Bromwich Albion and Stoke City have been fined £5,000 each after a mass brawl during their Championship meeting last month.

Both clubs were charged by the Football Association with failing to control their players after a "mass confrontation" which happened around the hour mark of their match on 30 August.

The Baggies won the match 1-0 to move above the Potters into second place in the Championship.

The clubs admitted the charge and accepted the standard penalty.
