West Ham and Nottingham Forest charged by FA after melee at London Stadium
That sparked a mass confrontation which ended with Forest pair Murillo and Felipe Morata and Hammers duo Alvarez and Carlos Soler going into the book.
An FA statement read: "West Ham and Nottingham Forest have been charged in relation to the mass confrontation at their Premier League game on Sunday, May 18.
"It's alleged that both clubs failed to ensure their players didn't behave in an improper and/or provocative way around the 103rd minute.
"West Ham and Nottingham Forest have to provide their responses by Friday, May 23."
It is the latest in a long raft of FA disciplinary charges for Forest since their return to the Premier League in 2022.

Fury as travellers 'break in' to cricket club before camping on the pitch and 'throwing rocks' at passers-by
Locals have been left 'heartbroken' after their cricket club's pitch was 'broken into' by travellers parking vans on the pitch. Plymstock Cricket Club says a 'group of travellers' gained access to their green on July 28 and have since set up an unauthorised encampment on the field. The club, which is based in Plymouth, claimed members of the group have been 'throwing rocks' at passers-by and warned residents to 'stay clear and stay safe'. It says that as a result of the incursion it has had to cancel all fixtures 'for the foreseeable future', with the tennis and football teams also affected. In a statement on social media, the club said: 'Unfortunately our pitch has been broken onto and we now have a group of travellers setting up camp. 'Do no approach the ground as they have been throwing rocks at people. Everyone stay clear and stay safe.' Aerial drone footage shows 20 caravans parked on the club's cricket pitch, with vans and cars also on the green. Lee Garlick, who took the photos, says he was approached by children in a matter of minutes after setting his drone into the sky. 'I parked up in the car park and launched my drone,' he said. 'Within a few minutes, some kids came over and asked what I was doing, so I told them.' He claims shortly after, teenagers, who were around 14 to 16 years of age approached asking similar questions as to why he was flying the drone, claiming it was against the law. 'I again, explained and informed them of the law and I was entitled to do what I was doing,' he said. 'They didn't like this and told me to f*** off and stay away before something happens.' He was also told to 'f*** off and to go play with [his] toy somewhere else' by some vehicles leaving the encampment. 'I don't intimidate easily, so I stayed, finished what I was doing and then left,' he added. The club said the recent development was 'absolutely heart-breaking' as they recently 'put a lot of effort into improving [their] pitch and facilities'. They told the BBC: 'This is going to be a massive step backwards. 'We have been in touch with the council and MP regarding this and hope that they can be moved on soon as this is a very active sports facility used by many in the community.' A Devon and Cornwall spokesperson said: 'We are aware of an unauthorised encampment at Dean Cross, Plymstock and are liaising with the council in relation to this. 'Officers have attended the site and engaged with the group.'

Arsenal beaten by Tottenham as Viktor Gyokeres makes debut
Gyokeres was named on the bench by Gunners boss Mikel Arteta days after being able to seal a big-money transfer to the Premier League club. Arteta turned to Gyokeres with 14 minutes left of the friendly and with Arsenal behind after Pape Sarr's long-range effort on the stroke of half-time, but Swedish forward Gyokeres was a largely isolated figure and failed to stop a 1-0 loss. After a flurry of early Arsenal set-pieces in the first north London derby to be played outside of England, Spurs' Pedro Porro hit the post in the ninth minute direct from a corner. Outrageous from Pape Sarr 😮💨 Don't miss the action – watch the second half live on SPURSPLAY 📺 — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) July 31, 2025 Wilson Odobert and Richarlison also struck the woodwork for Tottenham during a first half which seemed destined to end goalless until Sarr's sublime intervention. Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya raced out to pass to Myles Lewis-Skelly, who was dispossessed and Sarr was alert to chip into the empty net from close to the halfway line in the 45th minute. Chances were few and far between in the second half before Arteta turned to his bench after Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz and summer recruit Martin Zubimendi had been wasteful in front of goal. Gyokeres was introduced for Havertz in the 76th minute and while he fashioned a late missed chance for Zubimendi, the former Sporting Lisbon attacker's first appearance for Arsenal ended in defeat.

Gus Atkinson shines but inconsistent England fail to punish India at Oval
Atkinson was handed his first appearance of the series on home turf at the Kia Oval, returning from a hamstring injury with little more than a club appearance for Spencer CC and one tune-up for Surrey's second XI under his belt. But in the absence of Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer and Brydon Carse – the captain out injured and the latter pair rested – Atkinson stood out from the crowd on an otherwise erratic performance from the hosts. He took two wickets and swooped to run out danger man Shubman Gill for 21, with India scrapping to 204 for six in bowler-friendly conditions. England won another toss in helpful conditions (Ben Whitley/PA) There was a late sting in the tail for the hosts as Chris Woakes suffered a suspected dislocated shoulder in the field. His participated in the rest of the match looks highly doubtful, placing an even bigger burden on a fragile seam unit. While Atkinson took the opportunity to remind the selectors what they have been missing over the past four games, bowling with pace and discipline for figures of 19-7-31-2, it was a different story for England's other returning quicks on the most helpful surface of the summer. The recalled Josh Tongue turned in a perplexing performance, sending down a baffling pick'n'mix of wayward deliveries punctuated by two virtually unplayable balls that accounted for Sai Sudharsan and Ravindra Jadeja. Both batters were undone by gems, speared in from round the wicket and seaming just enough to flick the edge. Beyond that he lacked any sense of control, frequently failing to make India play and sending down three separate sets of five wides. Jamie Overton, back for a second cap three years after his first, was also wayward and lacked cutting edge as his 16 overs cost a leaky 66. A strong day's work to kick off the final Test of the series 🙌 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 31, 2025 Although England's position at the end of a rain-reduced day was respectable, they were guilty of making poor use of the murky clouds and a green-tinged pitch offering good pace and carry. Stokes, Archer and Carse, all of whom spilled plenty of sweat on lethargic tracks, must have been cursing their bad luck. Stokes' stand-in Ollie Pope benefitted from Gill's fifth consecutive loss at the toss and eagerly inserted the opposition as the floodlights kicked into action. Atkinson was on target from the off at a venue he knows well, snaring Yashasvi Jaiswal lbw courtesy of a judicious DRS referral. It was Pope's first ever successful review, ending a streak of 14 unsuccessful calls, and he celebrated just as much as his bowler after ending that sequence. Woakes, the sole ever-present in the English attack, picked up a second when the dogged KL Rahul was drawn out of his comfort zone and chopped a cut shot into his stumps. Shubman Gill was run out (Ben Whitley/PA) But a lack of consistent pressure from Tongue and Overton allowed India to wriggle off the hook to 72 for two when showers brought an early lunch. The teams did not get back on until 3pm and they were off for rain again less than half-an-hour later. But that slim window was all Atkinson needed to make his presence felt again. He was bowling to India's emphatically in-form captain Gill when a ridiculous attempt to steal a single presented an opening. Sudharsan refused to be the sacrificial lamb and sent Gill back, allowing Atkinson to extend his follow-through, pick-up and hurl down the stumps for a gift of a wicket. Chris Woakes is currently off the field after sustaining a suspected shoulder injury while diving for the ball by the boundary. Wishing you all the best, Woakesy 👊 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 31, 2025 Gill had arrived at the crease on 722 runs at an average of just over 90 for the series – within sight of Sunil Gavaskar's Indian record of 774 – and departed courtesy of a dreadful self-inflicted wound. The weather eventually cleared to allow an extended final session and England picked up another three scalps despite continuing with their hit-and-miss offerings. At his worst Tongue looked well below the level but on two occasions he mustered something the great James Anderson would have been proud of. Sudharsan and Jadeja, who did not know which side of the wicket the next ball was coming from, could do nothing but succumb. Atkinson followed up with a hard-earned second, Dhruv Jurel fencing to Harry Brook at second slip one ball after surviving a tight lbw shout. Woakes' injury, which saw him crying out in pain after he tumbled retrieving the ball on the boundary rope, left England with a headache to resolve as Karun Nair ticked off a calm 52no to nudge his side past 200.
