Manchester City have been fined £260,000 for failing to control their supporters on the dramatic final day of the 2021/22 Premier League season.
City pulled off a remarkable comeback at home to Aston Villa on the final day of last season, scoring three goals in five second-half minutes to overturn a two-goal deficit and pip Liverpool to the title.
The incredible drama led to pandemonium in the stands, and things spilled over at full-time when thousands of supporters ran onto the pitch to celebrate the club's fourth title victory in five years, ignoring requests from the club to stay off the playing surface.
