The Football Association has confirmed that West Bromwich Albion and Tottenham have received fines of £25,000 and £20,000 respectively for failing to control their players during the 1-1 draw on Dec. 5.
Both sets of players clashed at The Hawthorns following a heavy challenge from James McClean on Mousa Dembele, which left the Republic of Ireland international with a yellow card.
McClean scored West Brom's equaliser following Dele Alli's opener for the visitors.
The clubs were charged on Dec. 9, and were both fined on Friday Dec. 18 after admitting breaching FA rules.

A statement on the FA's official website read: "West Bromwich Albion and Tottenham Hotspur have been fined £25,000 and £20,000 respectively after they admitted breaching FA Rules in relation to their game on Dec. 5, 2015.
"The charge was that in or around the 84th minute of the fixture, both clubs failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.
"West Bromwich Albion's charge was heard by an Independent Regulatory Commission because the club had a similar breach of FA Rule E20(a) within the preceding 12 months."
West Brom boss Tony Pulis admitted it was a poor tackle from his player, telling Sky Sports: "The challenge, second half, is reckless and he shouldn't do that, because he doesn't need to do it.
"Everybody knows he's a tough kiddy and he's an honest lad as well but he's got to be careful."
