FA charges technical staff of Arsenal, Aston Villa

The Football Association has filed charges against members of the coaching staff of Arsenal and Aston Villa for an altercation that occurred during their Premier League matchup last month.

On February 18, the Gunners pulled off a spectacular 4-2 comeback at Villa Park, which was capped off by a thrilling own goal from their former goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

The visitors had previously tied the score thanks to goals from Bukayo Saka and Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Gabriel Martinelli added a fourth goal in stoppage time.

Victor Manas, the head of performance analysis at Villa, and Miguel Molina, the technical analyst at Arsenal, got into a fight during the celebrations, and the FA has now charged both men.

“Aston Villa’s head of performance analysis, Victor Manas, and Arsenal’s technical analyst coach, Miguel Molina, have been charged following their Premier League game on Wednesday 18 February,” read a statement.

“It’s alleged that Miguel Molina’s behaviour and/or language during the 94th minute was improper and/or abusive and/or insulting, and that his behaviour in the tunnel after the final whistle was also improper.”

Manas and Molina have until Friday to provide a response to the FA.
