West Ham and Spurs fined by FA over melee in London Stadium derby

West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur have each been fined £20,000 by the Football Association after admitting a charge of failing to control their players in last Saturday's Premier League clash at the London Stadium.

Spurs won the derby 3-2, but almost squandered a three-goal lead and the home side were pressing for an equaliser in stoppage time when a melee occurred.

Five players -- West Ham's Andy Carroll, Winston Reid and Andre Ayew and Eric Dier and Fernando Llorente of Spurs -- were cautioned by referee Michael Oliver.

The incident, which prompted the charge that "both clubs failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion," came after a foul by Carroll.
