FA Charges Fulham Coach Álvaro Arbeloa Over Man United Draw Remarks

Premier League Soccer

Fulham head coach Alvaro Arbeloa has been charged by the Football Association after comments made following his side’s Premier League draw with Manchester United at Craven Cottage.

Charge follows Craven Cottage draw

The allegation relates to Arbeloa’s remarks after Michael Carrick’s Manchester United scored a late equaliser against Fulham. The result left the match level after United had struck late in the contest.

Comments under scrutiny

Arbeloa questioned the role of the officials after the final whistle, suggesting that Manchester United would not be allowed to lose the match. The FA has subsequently brought a misconduct charge against the Fulham manager.

  • Fulham’s opponent was Manchester United.
  • The fixture was played at Craven Cottage.
  • Michael Carrick’s side secured the draw through a late equalising goal.
  • The charge concerns Arbeloa’s post-match comments about the officials.

The case adds an off-field consequence to a match that ended with Fulham denied a home win in the closing stages. No further details of a hearing, potential sanction or response from Arbeloa have been specified.
