Brighton facing striker crisis after Tomer Hemed is charged with violent conduct for stamp on DeAndre Yedlin

Brighton are facing a striker crisis after Tomer Hemed was charged with violent conduct for an alleged stamp on Newcastle's DeAndre Yedlin.

Hemed, who scored the match-winner on Sunday, landed his studs on the full-back's calf towards the end of Brighton's victory.

Referee Andrew Marriner did not see the incident during the game and so it was not included in his report filed with the Football Association on Monday.

The governing body were therefore able to apply retrospective action and it was reviewed by a three-man panel of former elite referees, who unanimously decided it was intentional.
