On what basis in law are football clubs penalised for the bad behaviour of their supporters?

Whenever there is a riot, pitch invasion or racist abuse etc. by fans of a soccer team, the club itself is routinely penalised? Surely the club is a completely distinct legal entity from the private individuals who happen to attend its matches? So on what basis in law is the club punished?
