Luton and Sunderland charged by FA

Players from both sides were involved in pushing and shoving after the final whistle

Luton Town and Sunderland have been charged by the Football Association following a confrontation between players after last week's Championship game.

The incident occurred at full-time at Kenilworth Road after leaders Sunderland had won the game 2-1.

The clubs have been charged with failing to ensure players and technical area staff "didn't behave in an improper and/or provocative way".

They have until 29 October to provide written responses to the charge.

All three goals came in an 11-minute spell during the game, with Chris Rigg and Romaine Mundle scoring for Sunderland, either side of an equaliser for Luton by Elijah Adebayo.

The Hatters striker was later sent a racially abusive message via Instagram, which his club condemned as "abhorrent and unacceptable".
