Moyes gets touchline ban

-

SUNDERLAND manager David Moyes (caricature) will serve a one-match touchline ban when his struggling side travel to Bournemout­h in the Premier League on Saturday after he admitted to a Football Associatio­n misconduct charge yesterday. Moyes was ordered off the touchline during Wednesday’s 1-0 League Cup fourth-round loss away to Southampto­n. The former Everton and Manchester United manager was sent to the stands after complainin­g about a decision by referee Chris Kavanagh not to award a late penalty when Maya Yoshida appeared to trip Victor Anichebe in the box. Scottish boss Moyes said afterwards he had had been dismissed for swearing at fourth official James Adcock. Moyes, whose side are bottom of the Premier League table and are without a win in 10 games, chose not to appeal against the charge and the ensuing punishment, with the ban accompanie­d by an £8,000 (RM 41,114) fine.
