​Watford and Stoke both fined for stoppage time brawl

Premier League clubs Watford and Stoke have been fined £25,000 and £20,000 for failing to control their players during their recent Premier League clash.

During the 94th minute of the match, Watford captain Troy Deeney and Joe Allen clashed, with their team-mates also joining in.

Deeney grabbed Allen by the face and neck which resulted in both players being awarded yellow cards.

The incident was so ugly that it even involved staff having to step in and try to break things up. Deeney has since received a three match ban for violent conduct.

He was banned for the Hornets 3-2 defeat against Everton last weekend and will also miss their upcoming League fixtures against West Ham and Newcastle.

Allen has since laughed off the incident and said: "It was handbags really and there was nothing to it.

"I like Troy, he's one of the good guys, he's a really good player and it was nothing personal."
