Arsenal have been hit with a 5,000 Euro (£4,300) fine following their Champions League tie with Bayern Munich.
They were punished by UEFA after a pitch invader evaded security during the second half of the 5-1 defeat against the German club.
Bayern were also hit with a 3,000 Euro fine after objects were thrown on the pitch.
The German fans threw toilet paper at the start of the game to protest against ticket prices at their own stadium.
The UEFA statement read:
Match: UEFA Champions League round of 16 match between Arsenal FC and FC Bayern München (1-5), played on 7 March in London, England
Decision: The CEDB has decided to fine Arsenal FC €5,000 and FC Bayern München €3,000
The charges against Arsenal FC were related to the field invasions by supporters - Art. 16 (2) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations (DR)
The charges against FC Bayern München were related to the throwing of objects – Art. 16 (2) DR
