Manchester City Charged With FA Infringement Of Inappropriate Actions

JAKARTA - The English Football Federation (FA) has indicted Manchester City for violating the match against Tottenham Hotspur.

In the match which was held last week at the Etihad Stadium, City was judged by APA in preventing its players from committing inappropriate acts.

The indictment handed down by the FA refers to the protests carried out by the members of The Citizens during the second round of injury time.

At that time, City's players protested the referee Simon Badminton's decision to stop the match because they considered a violation.

"Their players (Manchester City) surrounded the official match in the match against Tottenham Hotspur, Sunday, December 3, 2023."

"The charges refer to the incident in the 94th minute. The club failed to ensure its players did not act inappropriately," the FA's official statement was quoted as saying Tuesday, December 5, 2023.

Previously, it was known that at that time the Man City situation was fairly profitable. Erling Haaland, who was brought down by Yves Bissouma, was able to rise and send a pass to Jack Grealish.

The British winger is also preparing to attack the Spurs defense area without being escorted.

However, City's chances of scoring an additional goal were dashed after trying to blow the whistle and stop the game.

The referee's decision immediately made the Man City players react immediately, let alone stop the game for a moment.

Haaland was even caught screaming at him quite close. Not to mention a number of Man City players surrounded him to protest against the decision.

Regarding the indictment handed down by the FA, City has at least until Thursday, December 7, 2023 local time to respond to the indictment.

Not only the potential sanctions against Man City, Haaland also actually has the possibility of getting punished after being caught uploading messages on his social media accounts.
