Both clubs have also been charged with failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during the 72nd minute as a ruckus occurred after Mateusz Klich had given Leeds the lead.

A statement from the FA read: "Anwar El Ghazi will be available for Aston Villa's next three matches after a claim of wrongful dismissal was upheld by an Independent Regulatory Commission. The forward was sent off for violent conduct during the EFL Championship fixture against Leeds United on Sunday [28/04/2019].

"Patrick Bamford has subsequently been charged with 'successful deception of a match official'. It is alleged the Leeds United player's behaviour in the 72nd minute of the fixture, which involved committing a clear act of simulation that led to Anwar El Ghazi being dismissed, amounts to improper conduct. The forward has until 18:00 on Wednesday [01/05/2019] to respond to the charge.

"In addition, Leeds United and Aston Villa have been charged with a breach of FA Rule E20. It is alleged they failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during the 72nd minute of the fixture. Both clubs have until 18:00 on Friday [03/05/2019] to provide a response."

The incident stemmed after Klich put Leeds in front despite Villa forward Jonathan Kodjia lying injured an requiring treatment.

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa instructed his players to allow Villa to score an equaliser from the kick-off as the game finished 1-1 and ended United's hopes of gaining automatic promotion to the Premier League.

Instead, Bielsa's side will go into the play-offs after Norwich and Sheffield United secured the top two positions in the Championship.

The FA also said that an incident involving Villa's Conor Hourihane was considered "not seen" by a panel of former referees but that the governing body deemed it not to be violent conduct so no further action would be taken.
