Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association after going on to the pitch during the defeat at Aston Villa on Saturday.

Mourinho was sent to the stands by referee Chris Foy after going on to the pitch following a red card being shown to his player Ramires.

Mourinho has until 6pm on March 24 to respond to the charge.
