BURNLEY boss Vincent Kompany has been handed a two-match touchline suspension after his red card against Chelsea last month.

Kompany was sent off from the dugout during the Clarets’ 2-2 draw at Chelsea on March 30 for his protests against a penalty decision which also led to defender Lorenz Assignon seeing red.

The Football Association confirmed in a statement Kompany must serve a one-game ban immediately with the other suspended until the end of the year, with the Belgian also handed a £10,000 fine.
