Fellaini, Huth banned three matches for violent conduct

Marouane Fellaini and Robert Huth have both been banned for three matches for violent conduct.

The pair were charged by the Football Association following their off-the-ball clash in Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Leicester on Sunday.

Huth was caught by TV cameras pulling Fellaini's hair, with the United midfielder responding by swinging an elbow into Huth's neck.

An FA statement said: "Both players accepted the charge, however, Huth contested that the standard penalty of a three-match suspension would be 'clearly excessive'.

"This claim, however, was rejected following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today."
