Liverpool and Everton are charged by the FA for failing to control their players following mass brawl at the end of Merseyside derby after Andy Robertson and Jordan Pickford clashed - and even the substitutes got involved

The FA have charged Liverpool and Everton with failing to control their players after a mass brawl broke out between the two teams in the latter stages of Monday's Merseyside derby.

Liverpool were leading 2-0 with the clock running down when Andy Robertson kicked the ball away from Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford after the whistle had already been blown.

The Toffees were unhappy with Robertson's perceived time-wasting and confronted the full-back, before some of the Scot's team-mates arrived to back him up.

The FA have responded to the melee by charging both clubs, as confirmed in an official statement on Thursday afternoon.
