And both sides have now been charged, having failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion when surrounding the match official.

Arsenal were charged for surrounding the referee when he awarded a penalty against Gabriel Magalhaes for a foul on Erling Haaland in the second-half. The decision by Taylor, which included giving Gabriel a yellow card, was then overturned by VAR.

Meanwhile City, who secured a monumental 3-1 victory on the night, have been charged for two separate incidents.
