The incident in question occurred in the 13th minute of added time, when a confrontation broke out between players from both teams. Defender Felipe Arámbulo and Edson Álvarez were involved in the initial clash, which escalated into a larger confrontation. Eventually, the players involved were given yellow cards.
The FA has alleged that both clubs failed to control their players and prevent the confrontation from happening. West Ham United and Nottingham Forest have been asked to respond to the charges by May 23.
The timing of the charges is significant, as both teams are preparing for their final matches of the season. West Ham will face Ipswich Town, while Forest will play Chelsea in a crucial match that could determine their spot in the Champions League next season. A win for Forest would secure a top-four finish, but a loss could see them drop to seventh place.
