ARSENAL face potential disciplinary action after being charged with breaching an FA rule during their Emirates FA Cup win at Oxford United.

In the 34th minute, while the game was still goalless, Albert Sambi Lokonga had a shot blocked by Elliott Moore inside the penalty area.

Gunners players surrounded referee David Coote, appealing for a handball against Moore, however Coote gave a corner to the away side.

An FA statement read: “Arsenal FC has been charged with breaching FA Rule E20.1 during its tie against Oxford United FC in The FA Cup on Monday 9 January 2023.

“It’s alleged that Arsenal FC failed to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during the 34th minute, and the club has until Monday 16 January 2023 to respond.”

The rule itself states that clubs should be responsible for ensuring its directors, players and employees ‘conduct themselves in an orderly fashion whilst attending any match’ and do not ‘use words or otherwise behave in a way which is improper, offensive, violent, threatening, abusive, indecent, insulting or provocative’.
