Wrexham punishment revealed after Sheffield United cup brawl

Wrexham have been fined by the FA for “failing to control players” during their Carabao Cup loss to Sheffield United in August.

The League One club’s Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney will have to reach into their pockets to the tune of £2500 following Jack Marriot’s, 29, tussle with Sheffield United’s Sydie Peck, 19.

Tensions boiled over in Wrexham’s 4-2 defeat following a late consolation goal by left-back Sebastian Revan.

Peck, who earned Man of the Match honors for his outstanding performance, blocked Marriott from getting the ball out of the Blades’ net, causing frustration due to the delay.
