QPR charged over player disorder

Last updated : 14 November 2014 By AFP

The charge relates to the reaction of QPR's players after striker Charlie Austin saw two goals disallowed in the eighth minute -- one for offside, the other after City goalkeeper Joe Hart kicked the ball twice at a free-kick.

"It is alleged that in or around the eighth minute of the fixture, the club failed to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion," the FA said in a statement.

"The club has until 6:00 pm (1800 GMT) on 17 November 2014 to respond to the charge."

Austin eventually did put QPR ahead at Loftus Road, only for Sergio Aguero to equalise, and although a Martin Demichelis own goal restored the hosts' lead, Aguero struck again late on to earn the champions a point.
