Liverpool charged by FA for Man City incident as Pep Guardiola escapes action

Liverpool have been charged by the Football Association following a controversial flashpoint during their Premier League defeat at Manchester City last Saturday.

The Reds, who were beaten 4-1 at the Etihad, have been censured for failing to control their players when they surrounded referee Simon Hooper after City midfielder Rodri escaped a second yellow card and subsequent red in the first half.
