The FA said Liverpool and Everton players were involved in a “mass confrontation” at Anfield

Liverpool and Everton have both been fined by the Football Association following a “mass confrontation” during the Merseyside derby on 13 February.

The FA said both clubs failed to ensure their players “conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and refrained from provocative behaviour”.
