Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been given a three-match touchline ban and fined 40,000 pounds for his behaviour in the referee’s changing room after Sunday’s game against West Brom.
A Football Association statement said the Frenchman admitted his language and behaviour was abusive, improper and questioned the integrity of the match referee.
Wenger was angered by referee Mike Dean after his side’s 1-1 draw at The Hawthorns, where Calum Chambers conceded a late penalty for handball.
He will start the punishment in the FA Cup third-round tie at Nottingham Forest on Sunday and it will take in two other away games, in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final at Chelsea and against Bournemouth in the Premier League.
