Chelsea boss Conte charged by FA after dismissal

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has been charged by the Football Association with misconduct following his dismissal in a Premier League encounter against Swansea City.

The Premier League champions won the match 1-0 on Wednesday night, but the Blues boss was sent to the stands in the 43rd minute.

Conte watched the entire second half on a dressing-room TV after disputing the referee’s decision not to award a corner.
