Watford have been charged by the Football Association for allegedly failing to control their players against Ipswich Town.

The incident happened during the Championship fixture at Portman Road on December 21 after Ipswich had been awarded a penalty.

The match between the teams eventually ended 1-1 as David McGoldrick's opening goal from the penalty spot was cancelled out by Troy Deeney's late equaliser.

"Watford have been charged for failing to ensure its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and/or refrained from provocative behaviour," read an official FA statement.

Watford have until 6pm on December 30 to respond to the charge.
