Stoke boss Mark Hughes fined by FA
Stoke boss Mark Hughes has been fined £8,000 after accepting a misconduct charge, the Football Association has confirmed.
Hughes was sent to the stand during the first half of his side's 4-0 Premier League loss to Tottenham at the Britannia Stadium on September 10.
The Welshman had reacted angrily to two decisions he felt went against his side - a booking for Marko Arnautovic and what he thought was a foul on Jon Walters.
Hughes directed some of his anger at fourth official Jon Moss and accepted after the game he had overstepped the mark, saying he was disappointed by his reaction.
