Liverpool and Sevilla hit with UEFA charges

Liverpool and Sevilla have been hit by charges from UEFA after the Europa League final.

UEFA has charged both Liverpool and Sevilla after crowd trouble marred the Europa League final on Wednesday.

Scuffles broke out between supporters prior to the match in Basel, which the Spanish side won 3-1 to make it three successive Europa League titles.

Liverpool has been charged with crowd disturbances and setting off fireworks, while Sevilla has also had disciplinary proceedings opened for crowd disturbances as well as the throwing of objects.

UEFA's Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body will handle the case on July 21, after the conclusion of Euro 2016.
