Birmingham City have learned its fate for the incident in which Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish was punched at St Andrew’s.

The Championship club has been fined £42,500 and warned about future conduct at the ground following the attack in March.

Paul Mitchell was sentenced to 14 weeks in prison after admitting charges of assault and encroachment onto the pitch in a game between the clubs near the end of last season.
