(Reuters) - Hull City midfielder George Boyd has been charged by the FA for allegedly spitting at Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart during Saturday's Premier League game at the KC Stadium, the governing body said on Tuesday.

The pair clashed in the 68th minute of City's 2-0 win when a clearly enraged Hart, angered at what he perceived to be a dive in City's penalty area by Boyd, confronted the Hull player.
