**Tottenham Hotspur have been fined £75,000 by the Football Association following homophobic chanting by their fans during a 3-0 win at Manchester United last September.**

The chanting was said to have taken place in the 49th and 79th minutes of the Premier League fixture at Old Trafford.

Immediately after the game, Spurs condemned "abhorrent homophobic chanting" as "simply unacceptable" and vowed to take the "strongest possible action".
