Carlisle United striker Shaun Miller won the penalty which was scored by Reggie Lambe against Wycombe

Carlisle United's Shaun Miller is the first player to be charged by the Football Association since simulation laws were introduced in May.

Miller, 30, is charged with "successful deception of a match official", after an alleged "clear act of simulation" against Wycombe on Tuesday.

The striker has until 18:00 BST on Thursday, 19 October to appeal.

The panel, which features an ex-manager, ex-player and ex-referee, will review the footage independently.

Only incidents which result in a penalty or a player being sent off can be reviewed under the new laws.

More to follow.
