Riether faces Januzaj charge

04 November 2013 20:16

Fulham defender Sascha Riether has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association for his apparent stamp on Manchester United's Adnan Januzaj.

Riether is the first player to be charged under a new pilot scheme where a panel of three former referees reviews video evidence of incidents not seen by match officials.

The German defender appeared to stamp on Januzaj in the last minute of Fulham's 3-1 defeat to United, but the incident was not seen by referee Lee Probert or his assistants.

Riether has until 6pm on Tuesday to respond to the charge.
