Brighton's Tomer Hemed charged for stamp on DeAndre Yedlin

Brighton striker Tomer Hemed has been charged with violent conduct, the Football Association has announced.

Hemed fired the winner in Brighton's 1-0 Premier League victory over Newcastle on Sunday but he was involved in an 88th-minute tangle with Newcastle defender DeAndre Yedlin.

An FA statement read: "Tomer Hemed has been charged for an alleged act of violent conduct which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.

"He has until 6 p.m. on Tuesday [26 September 2017] to respond to the charge.''

Brighton boss Chris Hughton defended Hemed after the game, insisting the Israel international's stamp on Yedlin was a pure accident.
