Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger receives a four-game touchline ban from the Football Association after pushing a fourth official.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has received a four-game touchline ban from the Football Association.

During added-on time of his side's fixture with Burnley on Sunday afternoon, Wenger was dismissed from the dugout for his reaction to the Clarets being awarded a penalty, before pushing the fourth official as he refused to walk down the tunnel.

Wenger later apologised for his actions but he was soon hit with a misconduct charge from the FA, and it has now been revealed that the Frenchman will spend four matches in the stands.

It means that Wenger will be absent from the dugout for the games with Southampton, Watford, Chelsea and Hull City, and will not due back on the bench until a potential fifth-round fixture in the FA Cup.

Wenger has also been handed a fine of £25,000 as a consequence of the incident.
