Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero has been handed a one-match suspension for his reaction to being sent off during \u2060last month’s 2-1 Premier League loss to Liverpool, the FA said on Friday.<\/p>\n
The centre back, who received a second yellow card for kicking out \u200dat Ibrahima Konate in added time, did not immediately leave the field after being given his marching orders and argued with the referee, leading to the FA charging him for acting in an “improper” manner.<\/p>\n
“The defender subsequently admitted the charge, and an independent regulatory commission has now imposed a one-match suspension and 50,000 pound (\u20ac57,620 fine) after a hearing,” the FA posted on social media.<\/p>\n
Romero, who served \u2060his automatic one-match suspension in Spurs’ 1-0 win at Crystal Palace on 28 December, \u2060now faces an additional game on the sidelines.<\/p>\n
With Spurs 14th in the table and winless in \u2060their \u200dlast three \u2060games, Romero apologised to the club’s fans in a social media post, suggesting it should \u200dnot be the players having to front up \u2060to the supporters.<\/p>\n
Spurs manager Thomas Frank said on Thursday that Romero was a “young leader” who made a mistake, and that he and the club’s sporting director Johan Lange had met with him to \u200ddiscuss the post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero has been handed a one-match suspension for his reaction to being sent off…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":236526,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-236525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236525\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
