Arsenal and Spurs charged over failure to control players

The English FA have charged Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur for failing to control their players following Eric Dier’s goal celebrations in Sunday’s north London derby.

This happened in the 32nd minute, after Dier made it 1-1 for Spurs.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino was forced to rush to the touchline to play peacemaker among the players.

Both teams have until 6pm December 6 to respond to the charge.

The result moved Arsenal up to fourth in the Premier League table, ahead of Spurs on goal difference.

Tottenham have also banned a fan indefinitely from attending further games after a banana skin was thrown onto the pitch when the Arsenal players celebrated Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s penalty.
