So we get fined more than Ipswich, seems a tad unfair...

Norwich City hit with £25,000 FA fine for part in Ipswich Town derby day brawl

Norwich City have been fined £25,000 after being found guilty by the FA for failing to control their personnel in the 3-0 Champiosnhip derby win over Ipswich Town.
The club confirmed the punishment on Thursday morning following the completion of the FA’s investigation into the ugly spat that marred the Canaries’ latest East Anglian derby victory earlier this month.

Ipswich Town were also fined £20,000, while Paul Lambert was hit with a two-match touchline ban and a £3,000 fine after accepting a separate charge. The Scot was sent off by the official for his part in the melee sparked by Jon Nolan’s first half tackle on Max Aarons.

An FA statement read: “Norwich City have been fined £25,000 and Ipswich Town have been fined £20,000 after accepting a charge for failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during both the 45th and 90th minutes, as well as their officials in the 45th minute, of their EFL Championship fixture on February 10, 2019.

“In addition, Paul Lambert has been given a two-match touchline ban, effective immediately, and fined £3,000 after he also accepted an FA improper conduct charge concerning his behaviour in the 45th minute of the fixture.”

Lambert and Norwich’s head of performance, Chris Domgalla were red carded while Lambert had to be restrained by a steward and a police officer following a verbal spat with City’s goalkeeping coach, Ed Wootten.
