English club Manchester City were charged by the Football Association on Monday for their players' behaviour during a high-octane thriller versus Tottenham. 

In a statement the governing body said, 'Manchester City have been charged with a breach of FA rule E20.1 after their players surrounded the match official during the Premier League fixture against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, 3 December 2023.' 

It further read that allegedly during the 94th minute of the game, the club failed to ensure its players behaved properly. 

Manchester City have until December 7 to respond to the charge, it concluded. 

On Sunday, several City stars, including an irate Erling Haaland, surrounded referee Simon Hooper after he failed to play advantage in the closing moments of a thrilling Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium.
