Brighton and Hove Albion striker Florin Andone has been charged with violent conduct by the FA for an apparent elbow during Wednesday night’s FA Cup win over West Bromwich Albion.
The striker avoided punishment at the time, despite appearing to catch Sam Field with a stray elbow in the first half at the Hawthorns.
Paul Tierney decided to not award anything following the 27th-minute incident and the Seagulls striker went on to score Albion’s equaliser as they progressed 3-1 after extra-time.
“Brighton’s Florin Andone has been charged with violent conduct. It follows an incident in the 27th minute of Wednesday’s game against West Brom in the Emirates FA Cup which was not seen by the match officials but caught on camera,” read a statement from the FA’s spokesperson.
“Andone has until 18:00 on 08 February 2019 to respond to the charge.”
After the Romanian cancelled out Kyle Bartley’s opener, a brace from substitute Glenn Murray secured the Seagulls’ win to set up a fifth-round tie at home to Derby County.
