Everton forward Richarlison has been charged by the Football Association for throwing a flare during a 1-0 win over Chelsea at Goodison Park on 1 May.
The Brazilian celebrated his 46th-minute winner by picking up the flare, which had landed on the pitch, and throwing it back towards the stand.
An FA spokesperson said Richarlison had been charged with a breach of Rule E3, which covers improper conduct.
The forward, 25, has until Wednesday, 8 June to respond to the charge.
Everton have also previously said they would look into the incident. Pyrotechnics are banned from football stadiums in England.
