Middlesbrough charged by FA for failing to control players during Manchester City clash

Middlesbrough have been charged with failing to control their players following an eventful 2-2 Premier League draw with Manchester City.

The charge relates to an incident in the 66th minute of Sunday's game at the Riverside Stadium after referee Kevin Friend awarded a penalty to the visitors while the home side were leading 1-0.

Boro players were furious with the decision following Marten de Roon's challenge on Leroy Sane. De Roon and Fabio were booked for dissent, with the Brazilian defender clashing with his own team-mates as captain Ben Gibson attempted to calm him down.
