The Football Association has charged Burnley's Andre Gray with misconduct for homophobic tweets the striker posted four years ago.
Gray's tweets from 2012 were shared across social media on the weekend as he scored his first Premier League goal.
On Saturday night, Gray apologised for the tweets, which he sent in January 2012 when he was still a nonleague player with the now-defunct Hinckley United.
He stressed in a statement that he was a changed man from the one who posted such thoughts as: "Is it me or are there gays everywhere? #Burn #Die #Makesmesick"
An FA statement read: "Burnley's Andre Gray has been charged with misconduct in respect of social media comments made between 9 January 2012 and 11 March 2012.
