Roma fined over Liverpool match disturbance

    AS Roma have been fined by Uefa over crowd disturbances at Anfield in their Champions League tie against Liverpool.

    The Italian club has been ordered to pay 50,000 euros (£43,632) following incidents during the semi-final first-leg including an attack on a Liverpool fan outside the stadium which left him with serious head injuries.

    They have also been banned from selling tickets to their fans for their next European away game.

    Charges against Liverpool will be dealt with by Uefa at a later date.

    Liverpool have been charged with setting off fireworks and throwing objects while both clubs were charged for crowd disturbances based on incidents that took place outside the stadium.
