Huddersfield and Burton Albion receive FA misconduct charge
Tuesday 4 April 2017 17:29, UK
Huddersfield Town and Burton Albion have been charged for failing to control their players during Saturday's game.
An FA statement said: "It is alleged that in or around the 88th minute, both clubs failed to ensure that their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion."
They each have until 6pm on Friday (April 7) to respond to the charge.
The match, which finished in a 1-0 success for the Brewers following an injury-time winner, was marred by confrontational scenes after Huddersfield's Michael Hefele had a header cleared off the line by Burton defender Kyle McFadzean.
Players from both sides became embroiled and after referee Scott Duncan restored order, Town's Dean Whitehead was sent off for a second bookable offence.
Huddersfield are third in the Sky Bet Championship table and are nine points off second-placed Brighton & Hove Albion in what has been a superb season under manager David Wagner.
Burton are 19th and only four points about the relegation zone with seven league fixtures left to play.
