West Ham and Arsenal have both been charged by the Football Association for failing to control their players following separate games on Sunday.

They felt Bankes blocked Jarrod Bowen’s path as he went to win the ball.

Arsenal were furious with a Gabriel red card and Leeds penalty late in their 1-0 win at Elland Road – before those decisions were overturned by the VAR.

Both West Ham and Arsenal have been charged with failing to ensure their players “conducted themselves in an orderly fashion” and have until Monday to respond.

Hammers manager David Moyes, who also felt Tomas Soucek should have been awarded a penalty, said afterwards that the video assistant referee needed “to go to Specsavers”.

A leading referees’ charity has called for an inquiry into the touchline behaviour of managers following scenes at several Premier League matches last weekend.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was charged on Tuesday after being sent off against Manchester City for berating an assistant referee.

Manchester United have also been charged after their players surrounded referee Craig Pawson during Sunday’s game against Newcastle.
