He was angered by the decision to award the penalty against Andreas Weimann that led to City going 2-0 ahead.
Lambert will have to watch from the stands when his side take on Arsenal at Villa Park on Saturday.
The FA charge related to "language and/or behaviour amounting to improper conduct".
After the game, Lambert said: "I haven't a clue what [assistant referee Adrian Holmes] saw. We were well in the game - we had a foothold in it, and that is a big thing coming here but the penalty was a really shocking decision."
