Premiership: Henry charged with improper conduct

The British Football Association has charged Arsenal striker Thierry Henry with improper conduct for his outburst against the referee in his side’s Premiership game against Newcastle last month.

Henry had to be restrained by police officers when he confronted the referee after Arsenal lost the game 3-1.

The Frenchman was furious when the official sent off Ray Parlour while Arsenal were winning 1-0.

He also awarded Newcastle a controversial penalty which led to the Magpies taking a 2-1 lead.
