FA fines Nottingham Forest and Derby for melee

Nottingham Forest and Derby have both been fined £10,000 by the Football Association for a melee during their Championship game last month.

Rams forward Ravel Morrison was shown a red card in stoppage time for a high challenge on Philip Zinckernagel.

A melee then broke out between players from both sides and after the final whistle of Forest’s 2-1 win.

A statement from an FA spokesperson said: “Nottingham Forest and Derby County have been fined £10,000 each for two breaches of FA Rule E20.1 that occurred during their EFL Championship game on Saturday 22 January 2022.

“An independent Regulatory Commission imposed their respective sanctions during a subsequent hearing.”
