Leeds United and Everton have been charged by the FA following their Premier League meeting at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon. The charge relates to an incident in the 42nd minute of the game as Leeds midfielder Tyler Adams and Everton winger Dwight McNeil came together in front of the away end in Merseyside.
The pair could be seen pushing and shoving each other after Adams took exception to a tackle and that sparked a melee that included almost all of the 20 outfield players on the pitch. The referee was forced to take action after the brawl died down, dishing out four yellow cards, two for each side.
As the instigators, Adams and McNeil entered the referee’s book, but Weston McKennie and Abdoulaye Doucoure were also cautioned. However, the FA have deemed the incident worthy of further punishment and have charged both clubs for their players’ actions.
