Arsenal and Tottenham charged by FA for north London derby melee

The governing body has alleged both clubs "failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion" in Sunday's match

Arsenal and Tottenham have both been charged with failing to control their players during Sunday's north London derby by the Football Association (FA).

The charge relates to events in the aftermath of Eric Dier's goal for Spurs during the first half of a match where Arsenal ran out 4-2 winners.

England midfielder Dier headed in Christian Eriksen's free-kick to make the score 1-1 and ran off with a finger to his lips – making the "shush" gesture in the direction of the home supporters.
