Reds and Roma charged

Liverpool and Roma have been charged by Uefa following crowd disturbances at the Champions League semi-final first leg at Anfield.

The English Premier League side have also been charged over the throwing of objects and setting off of fireworks.

The case will be dealt with by the Uefa Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on May 31.

Uefa said both clubs have been charged under Article 16 (2) of the governing body’s disciplinary regulations. The crowd disturbances charge covers no specific incident.

Liverpool won 5-2 and went on to secure a place in Saturday’s Champions League final.
