Soccer games are bound to be heated, with the nerves being high in crucial games. The heated exchanges between the opponent players or managers result in fines for the club. It is the result of things going out of control of referees and federations charging fines on the club for not controlling the players. Recently, SunSport released the list of punishments, with Premier League leaders Arsenal topping the list for the amount of fine paid.

The English publication did it in the wake of the incidents in the FA Cup game between Manchester United and Fulham. Two Fulham players and their manager saw red cards in the space of a minute during the game. The club is waiting for the punishment to be known for Aleksandar Mitrovic and manager Marco Silva from FA.
