Marouane Fellaini, Robert Huth given three- match suspensions

   Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini and
Leicester City defender Robert Huth have both been
given three-match bans by the Football Association
after accepting violent conduct charges.
  The duo were charged after the 1-1 draw between the
two sides at Old Trafford on Sunday after an incident
in the 21st minute, when Huth appeared to grab
Fellaini's hair before the midfielder seemed to swing an arm at the German.
  Referee Michael Oliver did not see the incident but the players will serve suspensions after video footage of the incident was reviewed by the FA.
  Marouane Fellaini and Robert Huth to each serve
three-match suspension: Marouane Fellaini and
Robert Huth will both serve a three-match suspension
with immediate effect after being charged with violent
conduct which was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.

   The Manchester United midfielder and Leicester City
defender were involved in a 21st-minute incident during their fixture on Sunday 1 May 2016.
"Both players accepted the charge. However, Huth
contested that the standard penalty of a three-match
suspension would be 'clearly excessive.'
"This claim, however, was rejected following an
Independent Regulatory Commission. Fellaini will be banned for United's remaining three Premier League fixtures against Norwich, West Ham
and Bournemouth but will return in time for the FA
Cup final against Crystal Palace on May 21.
Huth, meanwhile, will miss champions Leicester's final
two league games against Everton and Chelsea and is
also set to miss next season's Community Shield.
   Speaking prior to the FA announcement, Leicester boss, Claudio Ranieri told a news conference: "I think
[Robert did] foul him, but also Fellaini has long hair...
"I think the reaction is worse than the provocation. If
you see everybody who [pulls] the shirt, you have to
send off all the players and only the managers would be left.''
   United boss Louis van Gaal had also addressed the
incident after Sunday's game, saying: "It's a penalty
for us. When you grab somebody by his hair and are
tying him backwards, then it is a penalty.
"[If Fellaini is banned] then I expect, first, that Huth
shall be getting a lot. I don't think that is normal. What
Fellaini is doing is reacting like a human being."
