Manchester City are facing a UEFA charge after their fans were accused of trying to climb over a fence during their Champions League clash with Dynamo Kiev.

European football's governing body have opened disciplinary proceedings against the club, who won 3-1 in Ukraine with goals coming from Sergio Aguero, David Silva and Yaya Toure.

UEFA say supporters attempted 'to climb over the fence' on Wednesday night – believed to be the barrier which separates their fans from Dynamo's. The away end was also segregated by empty blocks of seats around them at the Olimpiyskiy Stadium in Kiev.

This is not City's first run-in with UEFA.

In October they faced a charge because their fans booed the Champions League anthem before facing Sevilla. Good sense prevailed, however, as disciplinary proceedings were later dropped.

That came a year after City were ordered to play their game against CSKA Moscow behind closed doors inside the Arena Khimki in October 2014.

It was as punishment for the racist behaviour of CSKA fans but City felt they were being disciplined despite not being at fault.

Further salt was rubbed in the wounds when the Russian club seemingly defied the ban as 200 supporters were seen in front of the press box, drinking alcohol and chanting during the 2-2 draw.

Vincent Kompany said at the time: 'This one really annoys me and maybe it's on top of other things as well.

'You say "No fans" then all of a sudden you turn up and basically the only team that hasn't got fans is Man City. So who's getting punished? Who is being done for racism? Man City or Moscow, you know?'

City supporters also feel their club was unfairly singled out when slapped with a £49million fine in 2013 under UEFA's new Financial Fair Play rules.

The claim that fans tried to climb over a fence on Wednesday was included in the official match report and a UEFA spokesperson said the case will be heard by the next Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on March 17. Disciplinary proceedings have also been opened against Dynamo Kiev for 'field invasion by supporters'.

City told Sportsmail it was an isolated incident of a supporter attempting to get onto the pitch and the club plan to take the necessary action against the offender.
