Liverpool coach John Achterberg has been charged with breaching Football Association rules after the 2-1 win against Newcastle United.
Fabio Carvalho’s 98th-minute winner at Anfield last Wednesday (August 31) was the cue for both sets of backroom staff to clash on the touchline as the Reds secured a last-gasp victory after falling behind to Alexander Isak’s first-half effort.
Achterberg was caught on camera gesturing towards the Newcastle bench as Liverpool and their fans wildly celebrated a late winner in a game that saw the visitors accused of lengthy and persistent time-wasting.
