Everton could face second FA probe in a week following Leeds United incident

Everton could face a second FA charge in a week following a mass brawl which took place during their 1-0 victory over Leeds United on Saturday. The Toffees climbed out of the relegation zone at the expense of Leeds, who extended their winless run to 10 league games.

Both sets of players were involved in a melee towards the end of the first half which stemmed from Tyler Adams and Dwight McNeil challenging for the ball.

21 players were involved in total as chaos erupted in front of the away supporters, with the incident resulting in each side receiving two bookings apiece.

Abdoulaye Doucoure and McNeil were cautioned for Everton, while Weston McKennie and Adams saw yellow cards for Leeds.

The Liverpool Echo claim that the scale of the incident is 'likely to lead to scrutiny' from the Football Association just days after Everton were charged over a similar altercation at Anfield.

Both Liverpool and Everton were charged with an allegation of failing to control their players, after the two sides clashed towards the end of Everton's 2-0 defeat last Monday.
