Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association following his angry reaction to being sent off at Newcastle United on Boxing Day.
The Colombian was red-carded when he was adjudged to have deliberately stamped on Magpies defender Fabian Schar during Villa’s 3-0 defeat at St James’ Park.

Rooney is now likely to face a touchline ban as a result of his dismissal – and the red card also meant he was unable to address the media after the game.
But Shuttleworth, who was brought in by Rooney following his appointment as Argyle head coach in May, says he and the rest of the Plymouth bench are sorry for their actions.
