Everton midfielder Steven Pienaar has been charged with drink-driving, Merseyside Police confirmed on Tuesday.
 

The 27-year-old was arrested early on Sunday morning, only hours after Everton's impressive 3-1 victory over Manchester United.
 

A police spokesman said: "He was arrested at the junction of London Road and Lime Street and later charged with drink-driving and failure to comply with a traffic sign."
 

South Africa international Pienaar, who joined the Toffees from Borussia Dortmund in 2007, will appear at Liverpool Magistrates' Court on March 9.
