Man City charged by FA for 'violent' pitch invasion vs Aston Villa after Premier League title win

EPL FA Manchester City Manchester City FC

Manchester City have been charged by the Football Association for the pitch invasion that followed their Premier League title win on the final day of last season in May.

City came from 2-0 down to stage a stunning comeback and seal the title on the final day, denying Liverpool their second Premier League. At full time, thousands of fans ran onto the Etihad Stadium pitch, with smoke flares let off and fans breaking the goalposts as they celebrated.

Now, the FA have confirmed that City have been charged for 'failing to ensure that its spectators... conducted themselves in an orderly fashion', citing threatening and/or violent behaviour during the pitch invasion.
