QPR and Bournemouth have been charged with breaching FA rule E20.1

Queens Park Rangers and Bournemouth have been charged by the Football Association after a melee towards the end of Monday's Championship game.

Players from both sides clashed in stoppage time after a coming together between QPR's Yoann Barbet and Bournemouth's Dominic Solanke.

Four players were booked in the aftermath, with QPR's Andre Dozzell sent off for a second yellow card.

The Cherries won the game 1-0 thanks to a first-half goal from Solanke.

"It is alleged that both clubs failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from provocative behaviour during the 95th minute of the fixture," a statement from the FA read.

Both clubs have until 4 January to respond to the charge.
