Portsmouth and Birmingham City charged by FA

Portsmouth and Birmingham City have been charged by the Football Association for an incident that occurred in their final league match of the season at Fratton Park on 2 May.

The two Championship sides were involved in what the FA described as a "mass confrontation" with 10 minutes to go.

It was alleged that both clubs failed to ensure that their players did not behave in an improper and/or provocative way in the 80th minute of the match.

There initially appeared to be miscommunication between the sides when Adrian Segecic latched onto a loose ball, with the Birmingham City players thinking the ball had been thrown back to them following an injury.

The attacker then shot narrowly over the bar, which sparked a confrontation in front of the Fratton End.

The FA has given both sides with until Tuesday to provide their responses.

The match ended in a 1-1 draw.
