Arsenal and Hull players square up at the Emirates Stadium
Hull and Arsenal have been fined by the Football Association for failing to control their players during their match at the Emirates on 19 December.
Hull must pay £40,000 while Arsenal were penalised £20,000 for what the FA described as a "mass confrontation" in the Gunners' 3-0 home victory.
Both clubs have also been warned about their future conduct.
The incident occurred after Gunners midfielder Samir Nasri had appeared to tread on Richard Garcia's foot.
Nasri then clashed with Stephen Hunt, sparking an on-field confrontation between both sides in front of referee Steve Bennett.
Nasri, Hunt and Hull striker Nick Barmby were all booked for their roles in the fracas, although the Frenchman escaped any retrospective punishment for the initial foul after Bennett reviewed video evidence.
Hull boss Phil Brown described the FA charge as "scandalous", claiming Arsenal were responsible for the melee while Gunners manager Arsene Wenger said the charge was "harsh".
"At a regulatory commission hearing this week, Arsenal and Hull City were fined for failing to control their players during a match at the Emirates Stadium in December," read an FA statement.
"The clubs were charged in relation to a mass confrontation between players from both sides during the fixture on 19 December. Hull admitted the charge.
"Arsenal denied the charge but the commission found it proved.
"Hull City were fined £40,000 while Arsenal were fined £20,000. Both clubs were warned as to their future conduct."
