The Premier League clubs have paid the price for an
altercation between the two teams on December 3, with the FA fining them
for misconduct
The Football Association (FA) has fined West Brom and Watford £45,000
apiece after the Premier League duo admitted to a misconduct charge.
West Brom defeated Watford 3-1 at The Hawthorns on December 3, but
the match was overshadowed by a clash between the two sides following
Roberto Pereyra's red card with six minutes remaining.
Watford's Pereyra had reacted angrily when James McClean kicked the
ball towards him while he was on the floor after a challenge.
In a statement on Thursday, the FA said: "The two clubs failed to
ensure their players and/or officials conducted themselves in an orderly
fashion and/or refrained from provocative behaviour in the 84th minute
of their game on 3 December 2016."
High-flying West Brom host Manchester United on Saturday, while Watford are away to cellar-dwelling Sunderland on the same day.
