The clubs have until Friday to respond to the FA charge.

Meanwhile, Wigan said they would conduct a full investigation after some ugly scenes followed the final whistle

“We appreciate that the vast majority of supporters who ran onto the pitch did so spontaneously to celebrate a famous victory,” the club said in a statement.

“We were disappointed with the action of a minority of supporters who acted in an inappropriate manner.”
