Premier League: Newcastle's Moussa Sissoko told to make charity donation after red card
Tuesday 2 December 2014 09:17, UK
Moussa Sissoko has been ordered to make a donation to charity as punishment for his sending-off at the weekend.
The Newcastle midfielder was booked twice in short order at West Ham as his side were beaten 1-0, once for kicking the ball away and again for fouling Andy Carroll.
Alan Pardew admitted after that game Sissoko had "lost his head", and on the eve of Tuesday's trip to Burnley, the manager revealed his player will be hit in the pocket.
"He should not have kicked the ball away, it was a stupid booking and the second one was pure frustration," Pardew said.
"It probably came from him feeling stupid about kicking the ball away so that was almost a self-inflicted second booking.
"I'm disappointed with him, and I have talked to him about what contribution he'll be making towards charity. I don't know which one yet, Moussa can decide. We've not discussed a figure yet. He's apologised to the squad because he knows he was in the wrong."
