Manchester United and Crystal Palace have been charged by the Premier League, after the players clashed during the game between the sides last weekend.

Saturday's game between the two sides was not an instant classic by any means but it did provide one moment with enough drama to last our writers a good couple of days.

Whilst Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford got the goals, with the England forward continuing his impressive form, it was Casemiro who got the headlines for being sent off.

The Brazilian appeared to grab Will Hughes by the neck as players from both sides converged on each other, following a foul on Antony.

Not everyone thought the midfielder should have been sent off but on the other side Gabriel Agbonlahor had the totally normal view that the five time Champions League winner should be arrested.

United fans felt that some Palace players also should have received punishment for their part in the entire fracas, and they're definitely not blameless.

That's certainly the view of the Football Association, after they announced that both clubs were being charged for their part in the incident.

"Manchester United and Crystal Palace have been charged following a mass confrontation between their players in the 67th minute of the Premier League fixture on February 4th 2023," a statement read.

"It's alleged that both clubs failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from provocative behaviour, and it's also alleged that Manchester United FC failed to ensure its players refrained from violent behaviour.

"Manchester United FC and Crystal Palace FC have until Monday 13 February 2023 to respond."

After the match, Erik ten Hag didn't defend his player for getting sent off, but was happy that players were standing up for each other and felt that Palace players should also have been punished.

In his interview post full time, the Dutchman said, "I see two teams fighting each other. I see two teams where several players crossed the line, and one player is picked out and gets sent off. For me, that's not right.

"When you freeze, Casemiro has crossed the line. But many more players are crossing the line. It's about consistency.

"You don't want to lose players when colleagues are hurting each other that bad like the player did last week against Christian Eriksen. The player from Crystal Palace started this.

"Casemiro is protecting our player and also protecting the player who wants to attack. He is holding him back - he is protecting him. He doesn't want to hurt him."
