FA to charge Conte with misconduct after dismissal against Swansea

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association after his dismissal in Wednesday's match with Swansea City.

The former Italy head coach was sent from the dugout by referee Neil Swarbrick in the 43rd minute of the champions' 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.

He has been given until 18:00 GMT on December 5 to respond to the charge.

Conte reacted furiously to the decision not to give his side a corner during the first half of the game and shouted in the face of fourth official Lee Mason, as well as Swarbrick.

The 48-year-old, who apologised after the match for his behaviour, also explained he had been frustrated by what he considered to be time-wasting tactics from the visitors.
