Liverpool goalkeeper coach John Achterberg and Newcastle sport scientist Daniel Hodges have been handed one-match bans and fined a combined £13,000 after their clash at Anfield last month.

Celebrations on the Reds bench following Fabio Carvalho's 98th-minute winner in the 2-1 victory for Jurgen Klopp's men sparked a heated melee between the two dugouts.

During the altercation, Achterberg appeared to stick two fingers up towards the Magpies coaching staff.
