Spurs and Boro punished for brawl
George Boateng
Boateng was at the centre of the scuffle
Tottenham and Middlesbrough have been fined and warned about their future conduct by the Football Association after a mass brawl in December.

They were charged with failing to control their players after ugly scenes in Spurs' 2-1 win at White Hart Lane.

Spurs were fined �8,000, with �4,000 suspended for 12 months.

Middlesbrough were fined �4,000, with �2,000 suspended, after a game in which Spurs' Didier Zokora and Boro's George Boateng were sent off.

Boateng appealed successfully against the red card for his part in a scuffle with Zokora, which sparked the brawl.

Boateng was sent off along with Zokora following a challenge on Aaron Lennon.

Holland international midfielder Boateng had already been dismissed previously this season and faced a four-match ban before the decision was overturned.
