Brighton striker Tomer Hemed has been charged by the Football Association with violent conduct following an alleged stamp on Newcastle's DeAndre Yedlin.

Hemed fired the winner in Brighton's 1-0 Premier League victory over Newcastle on Sunday but he was involved in an 88th-minute tangle with Magpies defender Yedlin.

An FA statement read: "Tomer Hemed has been charged for an alleged act of violent conduct which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.

"He has until 6pm on Tuesday [26 September 2017] to respond to the charge."

Brighton boss Chris Hughton defended Hemed after the game, insisting the Israel international's stamp on Yedlin was an accident.
