Arsenal manager Unai Emery was fined £8,000 on Monday but avoided a touchline ban for kicking a plastic bottle at a Brighton supporter.
The Spanish coach immediately apologized to the supporter following the incident during the closing moments of Arsenal's 1-1 Premier League draw at the Amex Stadium last Wednesday.
Emery admitted an FA improper conduct charge and accepted the standard penalty.
"I kicked it for me and it went near the supporters. I said my apologies," Emery had said following the incident.
"I kicked it because it's near me and not because of this intention."
Arsenal, who are fifth in the table following a 5-1 defeat by leaders Liverpool on Saturday, host Fulham on Tuesday.
How can anyone take the FA serious?! Some managers get away with everything & anything on the touch line, players blatantly diving, etc, but somehow, Emery gets fined 😂😂 You just can’t make this stuff up! @UnaiEmery_ pic.twitter.com/5UAgt2onRC— Mike Goncalves ⚽️ (@MGoncalves10) December 28, 2018
