EPL: Forest Manager, Gibbs-White Bag Suspensions

In a statement released by the FA on Friday, Nuno Espirito Santo, Nottingham Forest manager and midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White have been suspended while Brighton & Hove Albion boss Fabian Hurzeler has been fined for misconduct in a 2-2 draw between the sides last month.


In a feisty Premier League clash, both managers were shown red cards, while 24-year-old Forest midfielder was sent off for a robust tackle which earned him a second booking.


Gibbs-white appeared incensed by the decision as was Nuno who was sent off along with Hurzeler for "unacceptable technical area behaviour" following the incident.


The statement released by FA on their X official handle stated: "Nuno Espirito Santo, Morgan Gibbs-White and Fabian Hurzeler admitted to their respective charges.”


"The independent Regulatory Commission imposed a two-match touchline suspension and £55,000 ($71,753) fine on the Nottingham Forest head coach, which activated a further one-match touchline ban that had been suspended."


The FA also stated that Gibbs-White had been given a one-match suspension and a 20,000 pounds fine, while Huerzeler was fined 8,000 pounds.
