Tottenham Hit With FA Sanctions Following Post-Match Melee

 

Tottenham Hotspur have been officially charged by the Football Association following a mass brawl involving players, coaches, and stewards during their FA Cup clash with Aston Villa on January 10, 2026, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Both clubs have been accused of failing to control their players and officials after the final whistle and have until January 16 to respond to the charges.

The incident follows a series of disciplinary issues for Spurs, including captain Cristian Romero, who was recently handed an additional one-match ban and fine by the FA for improper conduct during a previous match. The latest charge marks another challenging moment for Tottenham as they face scrutiny over on-field behavior and leadership.

Fans and pundits alike are now awaiting the clubs’ responses, with potential penalties expected to make headlines in the coming days.
