Sunderland & Swansea fined after on-field melee after Luke O'Nien red

Sunderland and Swansea City have been fined by the Football Association following a "mass confrontation" during this month's Championship fixture.

Luke O'Nien's tackle on Swansea's Ollie Cooper on 18 minutes was punished by Keith Stroud issuing a red card.

It triggered a melee, which saw Swans defender Ben Cabango booked.

Swansea won the game at the Stadium of Light 3-1, with goals from Joel Piroe, Liam Cullen and Cooper, while Dan Neil scored for the home side.
