QPR and Brentford have been fined £7,500 and £10,000 respectively after both clubs were found guilty of failing to control their players in the match at Loftus Road earlier this month.

The Football Association charge stemmed from a melee in the 48th minute of the game, following Karl Henry’s challenge on Ryan Woods.

Both clubs contested the charge but at a hearing on Tuesday the allegation was found proven. Both clubs were also warned as to their future conduct.

QPR won the game 3-0, with goals from Junior Hoilett, Sebastian Polter and Tjaronn Chery.
