Arsenal was fined 40,000 pounds ($48,820) by the Football Association on Friday for failing to control its players during its goalless Premier League draw with Newcastle United this week.

Arsenal was denied two late penalty claims in Tuesday’s game and players confronted referee Andrew Madley deep into stoppage time to appeal for a penalty for a possible handball. Madley, who issued nine yellow cards, waved away the appeals.

The FA on Thursday also charged the north London club for the same reasons during the 3-0 FA Cup win at Oxford United.
