Liverpool head coach Rafa Benitez has been charged with “Improper Conduct” by the FA over comments made following their August 16th loss to Tottenham.

Benítez was angry after Andriy Voronin was levered off the ball inside the penalty area during Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat.

“I think everyone could see there was a penalty, especially to Voronin, it was so clear,” said Benítez after the game. “[The penalty appeal] was so clear, it was unbelievable. Can you get two penalties at an away ground? No. With this referee [Phil Dowd], I knew that this was impossible.”

Benítez was asked what he thought of the referee’s overall performance. He remained tight-lipped but theatrically took off his spectacles and held them up for inspection.

Benítez has until 15 September to respond to the charge.
