Roman fined, banned following crowd trouble in Champions League semi

Roma have been fined 50,000 euros by Uefa following crowd trouble that marred the Champions League semi-final first leg against Liverpool at Anfield.

The Italian club have also been banned from selling tickets to their fans for their next European away game. Liverpool fan Sean Cox suffered serious head injuries in an attack outside Anfield before the 24 April tie.

Charges against Liverpool will be dealt with by Uefa at a later date as they made a request to UEFA for more time to make their submission.

Roma were given a two-match ban on selling away tickets, with the second deferred under a probationary period of two years.
