Blackpool assistant manager Steve Agnew has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association.

The incident came at the end of Blackpool's 2-1 win at Shrewsbury Town for which Agnew was sent off for kicking the ball away in the 93rd minute.

He is alleged to have acted in an "improper manner" and has until 10 December to respond.

The match saw the Seasiders win back-to-back league games for the first time since September.
