Sunderland's Papy Djilobodji charged with violent conduct by FA

Sunderland defender Papy Djilobodji has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association after an incident late on in Saturday's 2-0 Premier League defeat at West Bromwich Albion.

Djilobodji, 28, appeared to swing his arms towards Baggies midfielder Darren Fletcher at an 86th-minute free kick -- a clash missed by referee Craig Pawson but caught on video.

The Senegal international, who was sent off against Hull City earlier this season, faces a potential four-match ban if found guilty of the charge.
