The Elland Road encounter was played in the spirit of a Yorkshire derby but exploded in the second half when players from both teams got involved after Cody Drameh tangled with Tykes defender and former Whites player Liam Kitching behind the play.
Leeds centre-back Leo Hjelde reacted to a shove on Drameh and barged in to push Kitching away as the incident drew a crowd from both sides.An independent Regulatory Commission has imposed an action plan and £150,000 fine on Leeds United for misconduct in relation to crowd control that took place during the 20th minute of their game against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday 11 March.
Leeds United admitted that they failed to ensure their spectators conduct themselves in an orderly fashion and do not use words or otherwise behave in a way which is improper, offensive, abusive, indecent, or insulting with reference to sexual orientation.
The independent Regulatory Commission’s action plan and written reasons for these sanctions can both be seen below.
