Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa have been charged with misconduct by the Football Association following a melee at the conclusion of their FA Cup match on Saturday. Players from both sides were involved in a confrontation shortly after Villa's 2-1 win in the third round at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The clubs are accused of having "failed to ensure their players and/or officials did not behave in an improper and/or provocative way after the final whistle". Goals from Emiliano Buendia and Morgan Rogers put Villa into a 2-0 lead at half-time. Villa, who sit third in the Premier League, will host fellow top-flight side Newcastle United in round four.
