Cologne have been fined €60,000 (£53,000) and banned from selling away tickets in Europe for one match after the crowd trouble ahead of their game against Arsenal.

The latter punishment has been suspended for a two year period, assuming there are no further incidents, while the club have also been ordered to contact the north London side to pay damages.

Arsenal faced a charge of blocking the stairways in the away supporters sector, but the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) decided against disciplinary proceedings.
