Bradford City and AFC Wimbledon have been charged by the Football Association following a mass confrontation in the closing stages of their 0-0 draw in League Two on Saturday.

Both clubs are alleged to have failed to ensure their players "did not behave in an improper and/or provocative way" in added time at the end of the game at the University of Bradford Stadium.

The flare-up happened after a tackle from Bradford captain Richie Smallwood, with players pushing and shoving each other.

Smallwood and Andy Cook were booked along with Wimbledon's Myles Hippolyte and Joe Lewis.

The clubs have been given until Thursday, 26 September to respond to the charge.
