AFC Wimbledon manager Johnnie Jackson has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association following his side's controversial 2-2 draw at home to Newport County.

Jackson was shown a red card by referee Lee Swabey for his protests after Newport were awarded a stoppage-time penalty for a foul by Huseyin Biler on Kyle Jameson.

Shane McLoughlin scored from the spot to earn a point for the visitors. The result meant the Dons, who had led 2-0, dropped out of the League Two play-off places.

Jackson has until Tuesday, 10 December to respond to the charge.
