LONDON (AP) — Wolverhampton forward Daniel Podence was charged by the English Football Association on Wednesday for allegedly spitting at Nottingham Forest striker Brennan Johnson during a Premier League game.

The alleged incident took place in the 90th minute of the 1-1 draw on Saturday. It was not seen by the on-field match officials or picked up by the video assistant referee, so Podence played on until full time.

He had come on as a substitute and scored Wolves’ equalizer.

Johnson said in a post-match interview that he thought “some sort of spit came towards my face.”

Podence has until April 12 to respond to the charge.
