West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has avoided a touchline ban, but he and assistant Nikola Jurcevic were fined £8,000 each after incidents on the touchline in last weekend's 2-2 draw with West Bromwich Albion.

Both admitted to Football Association misconduct charges. Bilic threw a television microphone to the ground in disgust shortly after the Irons conceded Gareth McAuley's equaliser in injury time.

A statement on the FA's website read: "(Bilic and Jurkcevic) were charged with improper conduct in relation to incidents in the 90th and 19th minutes respectively during the game against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday 11 February 2017."

BIlic and Jurcevic will be on the touchline for West Ham's next Premier League match against Watford on Feb. 25.
