West Brom's Molumby charged over punch in friendly

West Bromwich Albion midfielder Jayson Molumby has been charged with violent conduct after punching an opponent in their pre-season game against Real Mallorca.

The Republic of Ireland international hit Samu Costa in the face following a challenge by the Mallorca player in the first half on 27 July.

The two then clashed on the ground with team-mates having to pull them apart.

Costa also appeared to swing an arm at 24-year-old Molumby.

Molumby was taken off at half-time in the behind-closed-doors game after the referee stopped the first half early following the incident.
