Troy Deeney has been fined £20,000 by the FA for comments made about referee David Coote, after Watford's 3-3 draw against Bournemouth earlier this season.
The striker was critical of the match official and said he had "bottled it" when it came to making some big decisions during the game.
The Hornets' skipper admitted an FA charge that his comments were improper in that they questioned the integrity of the match official and/or were personally offensive in relation to the match official.
