The Citizens' players were incensed after the awarding of a penalty eventually converted by James Milner and turned on referee Michael Oliver
Manchester City have been charged by the Football Association for failing to control their players against Liverpool.
The misconduct charge relates to City's complaints after Liverpool were awarded a penalty 50 minutes into Sunday's 1-1 Premier League draw between the two sides.
The hosts' players – including Yaya Toure and David Silva - fumed at referee Michael Oliver after Gael Clichy was adjudged to have fouled Roberto Firmino with a high boot in the box.
