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

The Black Cats were fined £5,000 - having accepted the charge - while Swansea admitted the charge, requested a hearing, and were then fined £6,000.

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.
