UEFA has charged Dynamo Kyiv over crowd disorder which briefly stopped a Europa League match against Guingamp.

UEFA says Dynamo faces sanctions for crowd disturbances, supporters coming on the field and throwing fireworks during a 3-1 win at the Olympic Stadium on Thursday.

UEFA’s disciplinary panel will judge the case on March 4, before Dynamo plays Everton in the last 16.
