PSV fined, fans banned from away matches, it has to do with Arsenal

Fans of PSV Eindhoven have been barred from their side's next European competition game after crowd trouble marred their Europa League defeat at Arsenal last week.

The traveling faithful at the Emirates ripped up seats and lit flares, throwing one towards Arsenal supporters during the game at the Emirates, which ended in a 1-0 win for the hosts. They were also issued a fine of €40,000.

PSV's next away game in European competition comes against Norway's Bodo/Glimt on Nov. 3. UEFA also said that PSV must "contact Arsenal within 30 days for the settlement of damages caused by its supporters, i.e. for the damaged seats."

PSV face Arsenal at the Philips Stadion later on Thursday. Arsenal lead Group A on 12 points from four games, five ahead of the second-placed Dutch side.
