"It was alleged that the manager acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour during the fixture, which led to his dismissal around the 96th minute," the FA said in a statement.
"Enzo Maresca subsequently admitted the charge and accepted the standard penalty."
