Premier League: Man Utd and Crystal Palace charged by FA over player behaviour

Manchester United and Crystal Palace have been charged by the Football Association over a "mass confrontation" of players at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Both clubs have been charged with failing to control their players in the Premier League match.

United also "failed to ensure its players refrained form violent behaviour", according to the FA charge.

The 67th-minute confrontation in United's 2-1 win was sparked by Palace's Jeffrey Schlupp shoving Antony towards the perimeter boards.

Both players received yellow cards before video assistant referee Tony Harrington spotted Casemiro with his hands round the neck of Palace midfielder Hughes.
