Vardy handed FA improper conduct charge
The striker reacted furiously to a second booking for
simulation, and will face formal charges while the club also face
sanctions for failing to control their players
Vardy was sent off by referee Jon Moss, picking up a second booking for simluation, and his reaction to the dismissal has drawn an FA charge.
The forward had previously given Leicester the lead, before Andy Carroll and Aaron Cresswell hit a quickfire double to put West Ham in the driving seat.
The Foxes eventually battled back with 10 men to grab a share of the points through Leonardo Ulloa's last-gasp equaliser.
A statement on the governing body's website read: "Leicester City's Jamie Vardy has been charged with improper conduct for his behaviour following his second-half dismissal against West Ham United on Sunday 17 April 2016.
"Leicester have also been charged for failing to control their players following the awarding of an 83rd-minute penalty to West Ham.
"Both the player and the club have until 6pm on Thursday 21 April 2016 to reply to their charge."
