Uefa charge Dnipro over fan violence

Supporters invaded the pitch following their victory over Napoli, which sealed a place in the Europa League final

Dnipro have been hit by a Uefa charge over the behaviour of their fans in the aftermath of Thursday's Europa League semi-final victory over Napoli.
The 2-1 win sealed the Ukrainian club's place in the final of the competition, where they will face Sevilla, but the decision of supporters to invade the pitch afterwards is now set to be punished.
Uefa have issued an improper conduct charge after it was also revealed a racist banner was unfurled and fireworks were set off inside the stadium.
Dnipro's success on the pitch has been even more of a surprise given the upheaval the club has faced throughout the ongoing political issues in the country.
They have been playing their home games in Kiev's Olympic Stadium, which is 240 miles away from their actual home.
The case will be hears on May 27 - six days after the Europa League final.
