Cardiff boss Neil Warnock has been charged by the FA for his controversial comments about Premier League officials.
Referee Craig Pawson and his linesman failed to spot that Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta was offside when he headed in a late equaliser before Ruben Loftus-Cheek netted a stoppage-time winner for a 2-1 victory in Wales last month.
Warnock called the officials ‘the worst in the world’ before giving another explosive interview to talkSPORT less than 24 hours later.

Neil Warnock was furious with the officiating in his side’s 2-1 defeat to Chelsea
He said: “I just feel as long as Vincent [Cardiff owner Vincent Tan] wants me to stay, no matter what division we are in, I think I owe it to the fans to stay.
“I changed my mind in the last couple of months with the Emiliano [Sala] tragedy. It brought a lot home. In the cold light of day, I don’t see anyone better to take over at this moment in time.
“Whereas if I can steady the ship next season, I will be in my final year at Christmas time, then I can help the club pick another manager.
