Sunderland manager David Moyes to serve one-match ban
Tuesday 1 November 2016 19:29, UK
Sunderland boss David Moyes will serve an immediate one-match touchline ban after accepting an FA charge for misconduct.
Moyes admitted using abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official and accepted the standard penalty, which includes an £8,000 fine.
The incident happened around the 90th minute of Sunderland's EFL Cup fixture at Southampton on October 26.
Moyes was ordered from the dugout in the final moments of the 1-0 defeat for protesting referee Chris Kavanagh's decision not to award his side a penalty.
Sunderland were beaten 4-1 by Arsenal in front of more than 44,000 supporters at the Stadium of Light on Saturday and they have failed to win a game so far this season.
The Black Cats are bottom of the table, with just two points from their 10 fixtures to date, and have recorded the worst-ever start to a Premier League campaign.
Moyes is the second Premier League manager to be charged with misconduct in a week, with Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho also facing an FA disciplinary action following his sending off during his side's goalless draw with Burnley on Saturday.
