Alvaro Arbeloa, the manager of Fulham, has been fined $33,000 by the Premier League for remarks he made following the club’s 1‑1 draw with Manchester United in September.
The fine was imposed after Arbeloa’s comments were deemed to have breached the league’s code of conduct. The amount reflects the seriousness of the offence, according to the league’s disciplinary guidelines.
Fulham’s match against Manchester United ended in a stalemate, with both sides scoring once. The incident took place in the closing stages of the game, after which Arbeloa was cited for inappropriate language.
Arbeloa’s fine is part of a broader effort by the Premier League to maintain professional standards among clubs and their representatives during matches.
