The Football Association charged Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger with misconduct on Monday for allegedly pushing fourth official Anthony Taylor late in Sunday's 2-1 win over Premier League opponents Burnley.

The Gunners boss has until 6 p.m. GMT on Thursday, Jan. 26, to respond to the charge. The FA released a statement on its official website detailing what allegedly happened:

It is alleged that in or around the 92nd minute, he used abusive and/or insulting words towards the fourth official. It is further alleged that following his dismissal from the technical area, his behaviour in remaining in the tunnel area and making physical contact with the fourth official amounted to improper conduct.
