QPR charged by FA over failing to control players at Man City

QPR have been charged for "failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion'' during the first half of their game against Manchester City on Nov. 8, the Football Association has announced.

Rangers players were incensed when referee Mike Riley denied striker Charlie Austin two goals in the eighth minute -- the first for offside and the second for an infringement by City goalkeeper Joe Hart.

An FA statement read: "It is alleged that in or around the 8th minute of the fixture, the club failed to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.

"The club has until 6pm on 17 November 2014 to respond to the charge.''

Austin did eventually score a goal that counted in the 21st minute to put QPR ahead but two Sergio Aguero goals sandwiched an own goal from Martin Demichelis as the spoils were shared.
