West Brom midfielder Chris Brunt has been hit with a Football Association charge for a tunnel bust-up with a match official as the fall-out from the club's FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Aston Villa continues.

Villa supporters twice invaded the pitch during their side's 2-0 victory over local rivals West Brom at Villa Park - whilst a number of seats were thrown by the travelling fans.

Now Brunt, 30, faces reprimands for using abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards a match official at the end of the tie.

The Football Association had already confirmed both clubs had been contacted regarding the supporter incidents as the ill-tempered game ended with both sides reduced to ten men.
