Tomer Hemed: Brighton striker given three-match ban over DeAndre Yedlin incident
Last updated on .From the section Football
Brighton striker Tomer Hemed will serve a three-match ban after being found guilty of violent conduct during Sunday's game against Newcastle.
The 30-year-old Israel international, who scored the winner in his side's 1-0 victory, appeared to stamp on defender DeAndre Yedlin in the 88th minute.
The incident was not seen by the match officials but caught on video.
Hemed denied the Football Association charge, which was proven after an independent regulatory commission met.
Brighton boss Chris Hughton defended his player after the match, saying: "There has been contact but my first impression is no intent and, knowing the individual, I would say no intent."
Hemed will miss the following Premier League matches:
- 1 October - Arsenal (away)
- 15 October - Everton (home)
- 20 October - West Ham (away)

Time to bring football into the 21st century!
There was no kick off between the players at the time.
Benitez said nothing about it at his after match interview.
If its trial by football TV pundits(Souness of all people !) , what about the elbow to Hemeds head a few minutes earlier ?
Should that incident be looked at now?
And in slow-mo everything can look bad.
No, he's a dirty scrote, and deserved more than 3 games.
A 3 match ban for Hemed and Mane seems reasonable when I look at it that way
Criticised LFC for appealing the Mane ban and criticise Hughton here.OK to be ambivalent just after the game but surely after studying the video he should fine, sanction his player not defend him
One defence for him is that there was little downward force - more petulance than seeking serious injury
Strange how Ming's got a 5 match ban for stamping on the Big Swedes pony-tail, but this guy only gets 3?
At least they're being consistantly inconsistent...
