Wigan Athletic fined after admitting FA charge following Blackburn row
Wigan Athletic and Blackburn Rovers have been fined £5,000 for a 'mass confrontation' between their players during the recent Championship fixture at Ewood Park.
The scenes were sparked by a late challenge by James McClean on Joe Rankin-Costello, which saw both men cautioned after most players on the field raced over.
"Both clubs admitted that they failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during the 87th minute, and they also accepted the standard penalty," read an FA statement.
