Premier League striker charged by FA over homophobic tweets

"It is alleged the comments were abusive and/or insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute."

The Football Association has charged Burnley striker Andre Gray for the homophobic tweets he sent in 2012 which were shared across social media on the weekend he scored his first Premier League goal.

Gray, 25, issued an apology on Saturday evening after social media posts he made when he was a non-league player four years ago resurfaced in the aftermath of his strike against Liverpool at Turf Moor.
