Arsenal hit with FA charge following victory over Leeds United at Elland Road

Arsenal have been charged by the FA for failing to control their players in their recent Premier League game against Leeds United.

The two sides faced off last weekend in a game that saw the Gunners claim a 1-0 win at Elland Road thanks to Bukayo Saka's first half strike.

However, tempers flared throughout the game. During stoppage time, Leeds striker Patrick Bamford and Arsenal defender Gabriel were involved in a scuffle that led to the former being sent off.

While the Brazilian's red card was later overturned by VAR minutes later, the Gunners were deemed to have failed in controlling their players prior to Gabriel's rescinded booking.

An FA spokeperson said: "Arsenal FC have been charged with a breach of FA Rule E20.1 following their Premier League fixture against Leeds United FC on Sunday 16 October 2022.

"It’s alleged that the club failed to ensure that their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during the 92nd minute of the fixture. Arsenal FC have until Monday 24 October 2022 to provide a response."
