​FA charge Tottenham midfielder Sissoko with violent conduct

Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko has been charged by the Football Association for an alleged elbow on Bournemouth midfielder Harry Arter.

Sissoko caught Arter in the second half of Saturday's 0-0 draw, apologising to the Cherries midfielder afterwards.

The FA said the incident was missed by the match officials and will now be reviewed by a three-man panel.

Sissoko has until 18:00 BST on Tuesday to respond but could face a three-match suspension for violent conduct.
