Villa admitted 'spectator misconduct' in relation to the game on March 7 after being charged by the Football Association with failing to ensure that no spectators or unauthorised persons were permitted to encroach onto the pitch area at Villa Park.

Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing, Villa have also been severely warned as to the club's future conduct.
