Manchester City fined N17.5m over players’ protests against penalty kick

Manchester City have been fined £35,000 (about N17.5 million) by the English Football Association for their players’ behaviour during the 1-1 draw with Liverpool FC on March 19.
The club had admitted to a misconduct charge for failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.
It followed an incident “in or around the 50th minute’’, when referee Michael Oliver awarded Liverpool a penalty kick.
James Milner scored from the spot, with Sergio Aguero equalising on 69 minutes.
Both Gael Clichy, who was penalised for a raised boot on Roberto Firmino, and David Silva were booked after Oliver pointed to the spot.
