While Burnley fought back and ultimately managed a 2-2 draw, Kompany went on to vent his anger in the media, saying: "The frustration comes from that it’s a succession of mistakes and it is always debatable… I have said it to the officials, that the refereeing has not been good enough this season. I have said that in a constructive way. Last year I said English refereeing was the best in the world, I felt there was always common sense being applied – this year I have not felt like this."

WHAT THE FA SAID

The FA have since confirmed the charges for abusive or insulting language towards officials and the Belgian could be hit with a suspension.

"Vincent Kompany has been charged with misconduct following Burnley’s Premier League game against Chelsea on Saturday, 30 March," a statement read. "It’s alleged that the manager’s language and/or behaviour around the 40th minute was improper and/or abusive and/or insulting towards a match official and/or questioned their integrity. Vincent Kompany has until 18:00 on Friday, 5 April, to provide his response."
