Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa escapes touchline ban for claiming officials 'would not let Man United lose' after 1-1 Premier League draw

Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa has avoided a touchline ban after implying officials were biased toward Manchester United in last month’s Premier League draw. United rescued a point in the 89th minute at Craven Cottage, prompting Arbeloa to say referee Michael Oliver and his officials ‘would not let Manchester United lose’ in his post-match interview. Arbeloa admitted the FA charge and was subsequently fined £25,000. However, the FA stopped short of imposing a touchline ban and instead issued him with a warning.
