Tottenham Hotspur have been formally charged by the Football Association after a large-scale confrontation broke out involving players, coaching staff, and stewards at the end of their FA Cup tie against Aston Villa on January 10, 2026, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Both Tottenham and Villa are accused of failing to keep their players and officials under control after the final whistle, and they have been given until January 16 to submit their responses.
This latest development adds to Tottenham’s recent disciplinary troubles, with captain Cristian Romero having already received an extra one-match suspension and a fine for improper conduct in an earlier fixture.
The charge represents another testing period for Spurs as questions are raised about discipline, leadership, and conduct on the pitch.
Attention now turns to how both clubs will respond, as supporters and analysts await possible sanctions that could dominate the headlines in the days ahead.
