Norwich hit with £20,000 fine by FA following Cardiff scuffle
NORWICH have been hit with a £20,000 by the FA after their players were involved in an ugly stoppage-time scuffle against Cardiff.
Tempers became frayed at the end of the goalless draw at Carrow Road, when Canaries midfielder Leroy Fer attempted to stick the ball in the back of the net from a throw-in.
However, the effort was chalked off as the referee had not restarted play.
"An FA statement said: "Norwich City have been fined the standard penalty of £20,000 after admitting a breach of FA Rule E20(a) in relation to their game against Cardiff City on 26 October 2013.
"The charge was that the club failed to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion in or around the 94th minute of this fixture."
Cardiff were also charged with the same breach.
