Wolves have been fined 57,500 by the FA for failing to control their players in defeat by Leeds at Molineux last month.

Players and staff protested at Leeds striker Rodrigo Moreno's injury-time goal at Molineux, claiming Adama Traore was fouled in the build-up.

Unused substitute Matheus Nunes was shown a red card for his protests, but it was rescinded after Wolves appealed. During the game, Wolves defender Jonny was sent off for a foul on Luke Ayling after a VAR review.

The FA said: "Wolverhampton Wanderers admitted failing to ensure that their players and technical area occupants do not behave in a way which is improper towards an assistant referee and the fourth official.

"An independent regulatory commission imposed their fine following a subsequent hearing and the written reasons for this sanction will be published in due course."
