Nottingham Forest and Wolverhampton Wanderers have been charged by the Football Association for the melee which broke out at the end of last week’s Carabao Cup tie.
A penalty shootout was needed to separate the teams as the quarter-final finished 1-1 after 90 minutes at the City Ground. The Reds triumphed 4-3 on spot-kicks to set up a semi-final clash with Manchester United.
However, a scuffle broke out afterwards, with players and staff from both sides getting involved and stewards forced to run on to the pitch to intervene. The FA have now charged the two clubs with “failure to ensure their players and/or benches conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from provocative behaviour after the final whistle”.
