SOUTHAMPTON captain Jack Stephens was today handed a two-match ban and fined £50,000 fine for misconduct following his red card against Manchester United.

The defender was shown a red card by referee Stuart Attwell in the 79th minute of the 3-0 home defeat following a poor tackle on Alejandro Garnacho.

Stephens had admitted he used abusive and insulting words towards both Attwell, after being shown the red card, and then to the fourth official as he left the pitch.
