Arsenal and Hull City have been charged with failing to control their players in last weekend's game at Emirates Stadium.

The charge follows confrontations between players from both sides during the first half of Arsenal's 3-0 victory.

The trouble erupted after Arsenal ace Samir Nasri appeared to stamp on Hull midfielder Richard Garcia and a number of players got involved in the melee that followed.

The feud between the teams appeared to continue in the tunnel as the players left the pitch.

Nasri, along with Hull's Stephen Hunt, was booked by referee Steve Bennett for their part in a mass confrontation following the incident.

"The FA has charged Arsenal and Hull City with failing to control their players," read the FA's statement.

"The charge related to a mass confrontation between players from both sides during the fixture at Emirates Stadium on 19 December.

"Both clubs have until 13 January to respond. "
