Diego Costa has been handed a three-match ban for his villainy in Chelsea's win against Arsenal on Saturday.
Costa struck Laurent Koscielny twice in the face late in the first half at Stamford Bridge.
Gabriel, Koscielny's centre back parter, was subsequently sent off for kicking out at the Chelsea striker. He has had his red card rescinded.
Here's the FA statement on Costa.
An FA charge against Diego Costa for violent conduct not seen by the match officials but caught on video has been found proven following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing.
The Chelsea forward will, therefore, serve the standard penalty of a three-match suspension with immediate effect.
The charge, which the player denied, was in relation to an incident involving Arsenal’s Laurent Koscielny in the 43rd minute of the game on Saturday [19 September 2015].
On Twitter, Gary Neville strongly disagreed with ban saying Costa's actions were not violent and at the most deserved a one game ban.
3 games for that. At worse it was two yellows = 1 game. Violent? No way..
