Leicester City forward Jamie Vardy has been charged by the Football Association for his reaction to his sending off at the weekend against West Ham United.

 

The English forward received a second yellow for a dive early in the second half, after referee Jon Moss felt that Vardy was trying to win a penalty for the Foxes, who were leading 1-0 at the time of the incident.

 

Vardy reacted angrily to the decision, and has now been charged with improper conduct by the FA, who said in a statement: "Leicester have also been charged for failing to control their players following the awarding of an 83rd-minute penalty to West Ham.

 

"Both the player and the club have until 6pm on Thursday 21 April 2016 to reply to their charge."
