Summary

Fulham coach Alvaro Arbeloa received a $33,163 fine.
The FA sanctioned him for comments questioning officiating integrity.
Arbeloa's claims followed Fulham's draw with Manchester United.

Fulham coach Alvaro Arbeloa has been fined $33,163 and issued a warning by the English Football Association (FA). The disciplinary action was announced on Wednesday.

Arbeloa made comments following Fulham's 1-1 draw against Manchester United on September 20. He suggested that officials would not allow Manchester United to lose, referencing a previous match involving Manchester City. The FA alleged that Arbeloa's post-match interview implied bias or questioned the integrity of a match official.

Arbeloa admitted to the charge. The 43-year-old Spanish coach, who took charge of Fulham in July, is still seeking his first league victory. His team currently sits at the bottom of the standings with two points from six matches.
