"Image source, Getty Images Tottenham captain Cristian Romero has been given an additional one-match suspension and fined 50,000 for his behaviour during his side's defeat by Liverpool last month. Romero admitted to a Football Association charge of "acting improperly by failing to leave the field of play promptly" after he was sent off in the 93rd minute of Tottenham's 2-1 loss on 20 December."
"The Argentine defender was shown a second yellow card for kicking out at Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate after being fouled. His first booking came in the 66th minute for dissent. Romero was also alleged to have behaved in a "confrontational and/or aggressive manner towards the referee". Following a hearing, an independent regulatory commission has now imposed a one-match suspension and a 50,000 fine."
