The Football Association have charged Arsenal and Hull with failing to control their players following the Barclays Premier League clash on December 19. A bad-tempered match at the Emirates Stadium erupted shortly before half-time when Samir Nasri appeared to tread on the ankle of Hull's Richard Garcia.

Stephen Hunt then clashed with Nasri and a mass confrontation took place in front of referee Steve Bennett, with Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia sprinting 100 yards to get involved.

Arsenal went on to win the game 3-0. The clubs have until January 13 to respond.
