FA Charge Man City With Misconduct

The Football Association has Manchester City after failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Liverpool. A number of players were seen to surround referee Michael Oliver after he awarded the visitors a penalty just after half-time.

City were fined £35,000 by the FA in December after failing to control their players during an ill-tempered 3-1 defeat to Premier League leaders Chelsea. Following a goalless first-half at the Etihad, James Milner put Liverpool in front from the penalty spot after Roberto Firmino went down under the challenge of Gael Clichy.

City have until 6pm on Thursday to respond to the charge.
