Arsenal Football Club Fined By English FA After 2 – 1 Loss To Man City

Arsenal have been fined £20,000 after accepting a Football Association charge for failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion against Manchester City.
In Saturday’s home defeat, Gunners defender Gabriel was sent off after receiving a second yellow card.

The Brazilian was booked twice inside two minutes as City won 2 – 1.

Shortly before the second booking, City were awarded a penalty.
Referee Stuart Attwell overturned his initial decision and gave the spot-kick after viewing the pitchside monitor.

And, just a minute after conceding from the spot, Gabriel was dismissed. His first yellow card came for trying to scuff up the penalty spot, while his second caution was for a foul on Gabriel Jesus.

Bukayo Saka had given Arsenal the lead, with Riyad Mahrez levelling from the spot and Rodri scoring in stoppage time to complete the comeback win.
