Football Association charge Joey Barton

The Football Association have charged Queens Park Rangers midfielder Joey Barton following his red card during Sunday's 3-2 loss to Manchester City.

The FA have also charged the 29-year-old in relation to two acts of alleged violent conduct following his dismissal for an altercation with City's Carlos Tevez in the 54th minute of the fixture.

Before leaving the pitch, he was involved in two seperate incidents involving Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany.

As Barton had already been dismissed, both of these incidents fell outside of the jurisdiction of the referee. Barton has until 6pm on May 15 to respond.
