Wolves charged by FA after Chelsea incident during Premier League clash

Wolves have been charged by The Football Association (FA) for two breaches of FA Rule E21 following their Premier League clash against Chelsea last month. The Blues faced Julian Lopetegui's side in Frank Lampard's first game as caretaker manager as the west Londoners lost 1-0 at Molineux.

A statement from The FA read: "Wolverhampton Wanderers have been charged with two breaches of FA Rule E21 following their Premier League match against Chelsea on Saturday 8 April.

"It is alleged that, during the 61st and 71st minutes of the fixture, the club failed to ensure that spectators and/or its supporters, and anyone purporting to be its supporters or followers, conduct themselves in an orderly fashion, and do not use words or otherwise behave in a way which is improper, offensive, abusive, indecent, or insulting with either express or implied reference to sexual orientation. The club has until Monday 15 May to respond," the statement continued.
