Arsenal manager Unai Emery has been charged with improper conduct after kicking a water bottle during Wednesday's game with Brighton, the English Football Association (FA) has announced.
"Arsenal manager Unai Emery has been charged following the game against Brighton yesterday [26 December 2018]," a statement read.
"It is alleged his action of kicking a water bottle during the fixture amounts to improper conduct. He has until 6pm on 2 January 2019 to respond to the charge."
Emery admitted kicking the bottle and said afterwards: "I said to them I'm sorry. It wasn't hard but it touched one supporter."
Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho received a touchline ban for kicking a bottle of water during the game against West Ham in 2016.
He was also sent to the stands during his side's 1-1 draw after lashing out at the bottle in frustration, following referee Jonathan Moss' decision to book Paul Pogba for diving.
He admitted improper conduct and picked up a one-match suspension.
