Keith Hackett believes that Fulham could end up being charged with failing to control their players after their behaviour against Bournemouth.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former PGMOL chief, ex-FIFA, and Premier League referee believes it will ultimately "depend on the referee's report."

Fulham led twice throughout the game but ultimately drew 2-2 with the Cherries at Craven Cottage after throwing away their leads.

However, Marco Silva's side felt that Bournemouth should have been reduced to 10 men after Ryan Christie's challenge on Antonee Robinson.

The Bournemouth midfielder was ultimately allowed to stay on the pitch, but it led to a mass appeal as Fulham players surrounded the referee to plead their case.

Fulham could be charged for their players behaviour

Hackett told Football Insider, "A lot depends on the referee’s report.

"Sometimes it depends a little bit cyclical of the FA as to whether they want to cut these things down.

"A lot will depend on the referee's report.

"Of course, they did surround him, they could face a charge of failing to control their players."
