Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa has been penalized £25,000 ($33,000) by the English Football Association following his assertion that officials would "not allow Manchester United to lose". The comments were made after Fulham and United's 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage in September. Matheus Cunha scored the equalizer for United in the 89th minute.
Arbeloa, who acknowledged the charge, was also given a warning for his remarks, with the FA stating that the Spanish manager "acted improperly by making comments in a post-match interview that imply bias and/or question the integrity of a match official". Currently, Fulham sit at the bottom of the Premier League with a mere two points from their first six games.
