Leeds United have been charged by the Football Association following their 2-1 victory over Bolton Wanderers – who have also been charged – last Saturday.

Both Championship clubs have been accused of failing to control their players following a fracas in the 69th minute of the league encounter at Elland Road.

Bolton man Josh Magennis sparked the melee when he fouled Ezgjan Alioski near the touchline, and players and staff from both clubs got involved.

Magennis and midfielder Joe Williams were booked for their role in the melee while Bolton boss Parkinson was given his marching orders and has now been charged with misconduct.

All parties have until 6pm on March 1 to respond to the charges.

Leeds announced the news with an article on their website which was also shared on their Twitter account:

Here is how some of the Whites faithful reacted to the announcement:

Leeds overcame the relegation-battling Trotters thanks to goals from Patrick Bamford and Alioski, with Mark Beevers netting for the visitors.

Unfortunately, Marcelo Bielsa’s side missed the chance to go top of the table on Tuesday night after Luke Freeman’s second-half strike gave QPR a 1-0 win at Loftus Road.
