The match at the Sports Direct Arena saw Alan Pardew's side score an injury-time leveller through Shola Ameobi to grab a point in the fiery affair.

Now Newcastle and Sunderland have been hit with 40,000-pound and 20,000-pound fines respectively, after both clubs admitted the charge of failing to ensure that their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and refrained from provocative behaviour.

The incident in question involved both sides' reactions to a challenge from James McClean on Danny Simpson in the 19th minute.

Both clubs have been warned about their future conduct.

Due to this being the second time that the Magpies have been charged with misconduct this season, they have been fined double that of their rivals.

During the bad-tempered derby the Black Cats had both Stephane Sessegnon and Lee Cattermole sent off while Newcastle had five players cautioned.
