UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Arsenal following their 1-0 win over Qarabag in the Europa League on Thursday night.
The two charges relate to supporters entering the field of play and the late kick-off to the game at the Emirates.
A supporter of Azerbaijan side Qarabag came onto the pitch late in the match holding a political flag above his head in relation to the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The Gunners have since announced a review of their procedures following the incident.
Arsenal may also find themselves in trouble after the match kicked off around three minutes late.
