Liverpool went on to lose a penalty shoot-out with Manchester City 3-1 after the game finished 1-1.
He had pleaded guilty at Hendon Magistrates Court on to possessing a firework at a sporting event, namely a distress flare.
He also pleaded guilty to possessing a small amount of cocaine and cannabis.
Flood received a twelve-month community order, which includes 80 hours community service work.
He was also ordered to pay £85 costs and a £60 victim surcharge.
Prosecutor Miss Katrina Rennalls told the court: “It was 6.15pm when Flood was seen to release the flare and he was ejected from the stadium.
“He was arrested and when he was searched a wrap of cocaine and a wrap of cannabis was found on him.
“In custody he was further searched and another wrap of cocaine was found on him.”
When quizzed by police about the flare he said: “I didn't know I couldn't let it of.”
