"Anwar El Ghazi will be available for Aston Villa's next three matches after a claim of wrongful dismissal was upheld by an Independent Regulatory Commission," the FA said in a statement http://www.thefa.com/news/2019/apr/30/leeds-united-and-aston-villa-300419.
"Patrick Bamford has subsequently been charged with 'successful deception of a match official'.
"It is alleged the Leeds United player's behaviour in the 72nd minute of the fixture, which involved committing a clear act of simulation that led to Anwar El Ghazi being dismissed, amounts to improper conduct."
Bamford faces a two-match ban which would rule him out of Leeds' final game of the regular season against Ipswich Town and the first leg of their play-off semi-final.
He has until Wednesday to respond to the charge.
Both clubs were charged with failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion in the second-half melee after Leeds scored. They have until Friday to respond.
