Aston Villa's Jhon Duran was sent off during the first half at Newcastle Aston Villa and Newcastle United have been fined for their part in a mass confrontation during their Premier League game at St James' Park on 26 December. The incident occurred at half-time of Newcastle's 3-0 win and resulted in Newcastle's assistant head coach Jason Tindall and Villa analyst Victor Manas being sent off. The Football Association charged both clubs for failing to control their players and staff, and after both admitting their charges, an independent regulatory commission fined Villa £30, 000 and Newcastle £20, 000. Manas and Tindall were charged for acting in an improper manner, with Manas being given a £4, 000 fine and a two-match ground ban after admitting to his charge. Tindall denied the allegation against him and the commission found the charge to be not proven so he will face no further action.
