Blackburn's John Eustace charged over post-match comments at Leeds
It's after he implied referee Oliver Langford showed bias towards the Whites during the 1-1 draw
Blackburn head coach John Eustace has been charged with misconduct by the Football Association over comments which implied referee Oliver Langford showed bias in the Championship match at Leeds on New Year's Day.
The 45-year-old criticised Langford's decision to award the hosts a late penalty, which Pascal Struijk converted to give Leeds an 88th-minute lead.
Blackburn hit back to draw the game 1-1, but Eustace was critical of the decision in his post-match press conference.
"I certainly don't think we would have got (a penalty) if it was at the other end," Eustace said.
"(Leeds are) a fantastic football club, 36,000 fans, the referee's always under pressure to give a decision. Last minute at Elland Road, it's kind of expected."
The FA's statement said: "It's alleged that (Eustace) acted in an improper manner during post-match media interviews by making comments that imply bias and/or question the integrity of a match official and/or are not in the best interests of the game."
The FA said Eustace has until Monday to respond.
