UEFA fine Serbia for their racist behaviour after the Under-21 clash against England, while Young Lions Thomas Ince and Steven Caulker receive bans.

UEFA have announced that the Under-21 Serbian national team has been sanctioned for racist behaviour following their Euro 2013 qualifying clash against England.

The Young Lions' progression into next year's tournament was marred by alleged monkey chants aimed towards Sunderland full-back Danny Rose and outbreaks of violence between the players after the match in October.

Following an investigation into the various incidents, the European governing body have announced that the Serbian Football Association have been fined £65,000 and their next competitive match will be played behind closed doors.

Meanwhile, England winger Thomas Ince has been suspended for one game, while his teammate Steven Caulker will be unable to feature in the Under-21s' next two competitive fixtures.

Both sides have three days to appeal the rulings.
