Juventus winger Douglas Costa has been slapped with a four-match ban for his actions against Sassuolo.

Costa has been given a four-match Serie A ban for his elbow, attempted headbutt and spitting on Federico Di Francesco.

He was dismissed during Sunday's 2-1 win over Sassuolo at the Juventus Stadium.

He was caught on camera in a lengthy tussle with Di Francesco – the son of Roma Coach Eusebio Di Francesco – which included trying to lash out an elbow, then an attempted headbutt.

As the pair continued to argue off the ball, Costa was filmed spitting in Di Francesco's face.
