Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch charged by the FA following Brentford red card

Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch has been charged by the Football Association for his behaviour that led to his dismissal during the Whites' 5-2 defeat against Brentford on Saturday.

The incident occurred in the 64th minute when Crysencio Summerville was hauled down by Brentford defender Aaron Hickey. Referee Rob Jones overlooked Leeds' penalty claim and Marsch left his technical area to protest his case.

Jones subsequently stopped play and brandished a red card to Marsch, who will miss next Monday's fixture against Nottingham Forest at Elland Road.

"It is alleged that the manager's language and/or behaviour during the 64th minute was improper, and he has until Friday [09/09/22] to provide a response."
