Everton and Liverpool charged by FA after melee incident during Merseyside derby

Everton and Liverpool have both been charged by the Football Association for failing to control their players and benches during Monday’s Merseyside derby.

The two clubs have been charged for an incident that occurred in the closing stages of the match at Anfield. Players and staff from both sides were involved in the fracas.
