Chelsea and Leicester City have been charged by the Football Association following an injury-time clash during their Premier League fixture at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night.
The altercation occurred in the 93rd minute after Ricardo Pereira challenged Ben Chilwell, with players and staff from both sides involved. Leicester's Daniel Amartey, an unused substitute, was booked for his part in the incident.
The FA statement read: “Chelsea FC and Leicester City FC have both been charged with a breach of FA Rule E20.1. It is alleged that both clubs failed to ensure their players and/or club officials conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from provocative behaviour during the 93rd minute.”
Both clubs have until Tuesday 25 May 2021 to respond to the charges.
