Arsene Wenger to serve touchline ban following West Brom penalty row
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been handed a three-game touchline ban and a £40,000 fine after his comments following the 1-1 draw with West Brom.
The Frenchman was charged in relation to comments made to referee Mike Dean after the game, in which he awarded Albion a penalty for handball against Calum Chambers.
Jay Rodriguez went on to score the spot-kick, securing a point for Alan Pardew's side.
"Arsene Wenger will serve a touchline ban for Arsenal's next three matches after he was charged with misconduct." Read an FA statement.
"It follows an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today at which the Arsenal manager admitted that his language and behaviour in the match officials' changing room after the West Brom game on Sunday was abusive, improper and questioned the integrity of the match referee. He was also fined £40,000."
