Norwich and Ipswich fined following East Anglian Derby

Norwich City have been fined £25,000 for failing to control their players in the 3-0 win over Ipswich Town in the East Anglian Derby.

A scuffle took place just before half-time that saw Ipswich boss Paul Lambert and Norwich’s head of performance, Chris Domogalla, were sent off.

The Canaries have been fined £25,000, whilst Ipswich Town have been fined £20,000 and manager Paul Lambert handed a two-game touchline ban.

Norwich’s fine is larger due to historic offences of failing to control their players.

In a statement, the FA said:

Norwich City have been fined £25,000 and Ipswich Town have been fined £20,000 after accepting a charge for failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during both the 45th and 90th minutes, as well as their officials in the 45th minute, of their Championship fixture on February 10, 2019.

In addition, Paul Lambert has been given a two-match touchline ban, effective immediately, and fined £3,000 after he also acceptedan FA improper conduct charge concerning his behaviour in the 45th minute of the fixture.

Norwich would win the game 3-0, with goals from Onell Hernandez and Teemu Pukki securing the three points, and ten years of dominance in the fixture.

Ipswich remain bottom of the Championship table, but picked up a key result last weekend against Stoke City, with Will Keane netting a late equaliser against the Potters.
