Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez may face a touchline ban and a fine after his outburst following the opning-day setback at Tottenham by the Football Association. He has been charged with improper conduct for comments about referee after 2-1 defeat.

Benitez was furious at Dowd’s refusal to award a late penalty with Liverpool having another spot-kick shout turned down moments later when Fernando Torres struck a shot against Assou-Ekotto’s hand.

Benitez claimed it was “impossible” for his side to be given two penalties by Dowd and pulled a pair of spectacles from the inside pocket of his jacket in what is being viewed as a slight against Dowd’s character.

The FA asked Benitez to explain his comments, but did not quiz him on claims that Attwell, 26, is too young to officiate at Premier League level.
