The Football Association has charged Burnley manager Vincent Kompany with misconduct after he was sent off during Saturday’s 2-2 draw against Chelsea.
Referee Darren England dismissed the manager for objecting to a penalty call that resulted in defender Lorenz Assignon receiving a red card.
Later, Kompany stated that the Premier League refereeing this season “hasn’t been good enough”.
The former defender for Belgium has till Friday to address the accusation.
“It’s alleged that the manager’s language and/or behaviour around the 40th minute was improper and/or abusive and/or insulting towards a match official and/or questioned their integrity,” a statement from the FA stated.
Just before halftime, Assignon was given a second yellow card for fouling Mykhailo Mudryk; Kompany’s response saw him sent to the stands.
In thirty games this season, Burnley has had the most player dismissals of any Premier League team—six.
After the game, Kompany stated he has “no issues with being fined” and that he is “not shying away” from providing authorities with comments.
On Saturday, Burnley, currently ranked 19th in the Premier League, will visit Everton.
