Sheffield United faces an FA charge following a late incident with Wrexham involving a former Sheffield Wednesday player.

Both Sheffield United and Wrexham have been hit by an FA charge after a mini-melee in the dying stages of last week’s League Cup tie at Bramall Lane. The flashpoint occurred soon after Sebastian Revan’s stoppage-time consolation goal for the visitors in the Blades’ 4-2 win.

United youngster Sydie Peck, who was man of the match against the League One side, became embroiled in a spat with Wrexham’s Jack Marriott in the back of the United net after the former Wednesday man looked to retrieve the ball. Players from both sides got involved before being separated, with both Peck and Marriott shown yellow cards.
