Pardew gets 2-game ban
Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has been given a two-match touchline ban and fined 20,000 pounds for pushing an assistant referee during a Premier League match last month.
The Football Association confirmed the punishment on their website on Monday.
Pardew had already accepted a charge of improper conduct following the incident during Newcastle's 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on August 18.
The suspension takes effect immediately, meaning Pardew will be banned from the touchline for Newcastle's league games against Everton on Sept. 17 and Norwich City on September 22.
