Marouane Fellaini and Robert Huth banned for three by FA

Manchester United Marouane Fellaini and Leicester City Robert Huth have been banned for three matches each after accepting a violent conduct charge from the FA.The pair clashed at Old Trafford on
Sunday during the 1-1 draw, with the Huth pulling the hair of Fellaini after the Belgian had elbowed his opponent in the neck.

Huth, 29, will miss the final two games of this season - against Everton and Chelsea - and their first league fixture of the next campaign. However, the Germany defender will be available to play in the Community Shield match.

Fellaini meanwhile will miss Manchester United's final three games of the season against Norwich, West Ham and Bournemouth. His manager Louis van Gaal defended the midfielder after the match. He said: "It's not in the books that someone has to grab by the hair and then pull it behind - only in sex masochism."

Both players accepted the charge from the FA, but Huth insisted a three-game ban would be "clearly excessive".
