The NFL fines four players from the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots for their part in a mass melee at the end of the Super Bowl.

Four players from the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots have been fined for their part in a melee at the end of the Super Bowl.

The incident occurred after Malcolm Butler's game-winning interception for Bill Belichick's men, as he kneeled out the final 20 seconds of the match while Seahawks linerbacker Bruce Irvin and Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski traded blows.

Michael Bennett and Michael Hoomanawanui also got involved in the mass fracas, which has resulted in a $10,000 [£6,564] fine for Irvin and Bennett, Hoomanawanui and Gronkowski being made to pay $8,268 [£5,427].

Irvin became the first player to be ejected from a Super Bowl when referee Bill Vinovich deemed his actions serious enough to be thrown out of the match.
