Hemed trod on Yedlin late in the win and the incident was missed by referee Andre Mariner at the time so has now been referred to a panel of three former elite refs. If all three find Hemed guilty of violent conduct, he will be suspended for Brighton's matches with Arsenal, Everton and West Ham.

In a statement, The FA said: "Tomer Hemed has been charged for an alleged act of violent conduct which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.
