Newcastle United head of performance Dan Hodges has been charged by the FA following a touchline row at Anfield last week.
Fabio Carvalho's winning goal in the 98th minute ended up triggering some ugly scenes on the touchline - long after the five minutes of stoppage time had been played. Liverpool goalkeeping coach John Achterberg was filmed darting down the touchline; the cameras captured objects being thrown in the direction of the Reds' bench; and both Newcastle defender Fabian Schar and first-team coach Simon Weatherstone had to be restrained.
Eddie Howe insisted he had 'no issue with my bench protecting themselves as part of the game' days after his side's 2-1 defeat, but the FA reviewed the incident. Hodges and Achterberg have now been charged with breaching FA Rule E3, which states that a participant should 'not act in any manner which is improper or brings the game into disrepute or use any one, or a combination of, violent conduct, serious foul play, threatening, abusive, indecent or insulting words or behaviour'.

"John Achterberg and Daniel Hodges both have until Thursday 8 September 2022 to provide their respective responses."
