Man City fined for pitch invasion after title win
LONDON, England (AP) — Manchester City was fined £260,000 yesterday for fans invading the pitch after winning the Premier League title in May.
The English Football Association said Man City admitted a disciplinary charge over the scenes that followed a 3-2 win against Aston Villa.
City’s late comeback after trailing by two goals ensured they secured the league title with one point more than Liverpool.
“The club admitted that it failed to ensure its spectators conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and refrained from using threatening and violent behaviour while encroaching onto the pitch after the final whistle,” the FA said.
