Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa has been fined £25,000 ($33,000) by the English Football Association following comments made regarding officiating. The disciplinary action stems from remarks Arbeloa made after a 1-1 Premier League draw against Manchester United at Craven Cottage in September, during which he alleged that officials would not allow Manchester United to lose.
The fine concludes the regulatory process initiated by the governing body following the post-match outburst. The match itself saw a late equalizer from Matheus Cunha, which ultimately resulted in the shared points that preceded Arbeloa's public criticism of the refereeing standards.
