Manchester City have been charged for the pitch invasion that took place when they won the Premier League last season.

The Citizens secured the title in a dramatic final day, beating Aston Villa 3-2 after having gone behind 2-1 during the game.

When the final whistle blew, home fans stormed the pitch and led to some unsavory scenes.

City have been accused of failing to ensure their supporters act in an orderly manner, per the Football Association.

"Manchester City FC has been charged with a breach of FA Rule E20 following its Premier League fixture against Aston Villa FC on Sunday 22 May 2022," a statement read.

"It is alleged that after the final whistle of this fixture Manchester City FC failed to ensure that its spectators – and all persons purporting to be its supporters or followers – conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and refrained from using threatening and/or violent behaviour whilst encroaching onto the pitch.

"Manchester City FC has until Thursday 25 August 2022 to provide a response to this charge."
