Brighton and Crystal Palace hit with a hefty FA fine after heated clash in Premier League 2 match
Albion under 23s and Palace's under-23s were both hit by a FA fine following a 'mass confrontation' during a Premier League 2 match last October.
Albion won the match 2-1 thanks to brace from striker Evan Ferguson but it was a clash involving numerous players late on that forced the FA to take action.
