Chelsea assistant boss Rui Faria has been slapped with a six-match stadium ban following his behaviour in the side's 2-1 defeat at home to Sunderland.

The Portuguese coach had to be restrained from confronting referee Mike Dean and fourth official Phil Dowd after a penalty was awarded to Sunderland.




Fabio Borino scored the resulting penalty, all but putting the Blues out of the Premier League title race.

The English Football Association quickly charged Faria with misconduct and have now found him guilty of two charges.
