Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has been
charged with making an offensive gesture at the
end of the 6-3 defeat the Premier League
leaders suffered at Manchester City on
Saturday, the FA said.
The England international is alleged to have
made an abusive hand gesture towards City
supporters at the Etihad stadium.
The incident went unnoticed by match officials
but was caught on video and Wilshere has been
charged retrospectively by the FA under a new
pilot project for potential 'not seen' incidents in
Premier League matches.
"Under the new process if an incident has not
been seen by the match officials, a three-man
panel will be asked by the FA to review it and
advise what, if any action, they believe the
match referee should have taken had it been
witnessed at the time," the FA said in a
statement on Tuesday.
