​Tottenham's Dembele accepts FA violent conduct charge

Tottenham midfielder Mousa Dembele has accepted an FA violent conduct charge for his apparent eye gouge on Chelsea striker Diego Costa on Monday at Stamford Bridge.

After accepting an FA charge of violent conduct, Dembele is likely to face at least a three-game ban following the incident.

Spurs were shown nine yellow cards during a stormy 2-2 draw, the most by a single team in a match in Premier League history.
