FA charge Liverpool goalkeeping coach John Achterberg and Newcastle sport scientist Daniel Hodges with 'improper' conduct after their heated touchline clash at Anfield

Liverpool goalkeeper coach John Achterberg and Newcastle sport scientist Daniel Hodges have been charged by the FA following their explosive touchline clash at Anfield last Wednesday.

A debut strike for Alexander Isak fired the Magpies ahead at half-time, but Jurgen Klopp's side battled back in the second-half thanks to a 61st-minute equaliser from Roberto Firmino and a last-gasp winner from new summer signing Fabio Carvalho.

Throughout the second-half, the Reds had grown increasingly frustrated with Newcastle's time-wasting and gamesmanship, and their celebrations to Carvalho's late winner sparked a heated melee between the two dugouts.
