Brentford goalkeeper coach Sotelo and Nottingham Forest groundsman both cop bans

Brentford goalkeeper coach Manu Sotelo and Nottingham Forest groundsman Ewan Hunter have both received bans after their clash earlier this week.

The pair rowed before kickoff in their November game at the City Ground.

Sotelo has been suspended for one match and received a £2,000 fine after accepting his behaviour was "improper".

Hunter, meanwhile, denied the charge but was fined £700 and given a two-match stadium ban.

Brentford manager Thomas Frank said at the time: "In all my time in football and especially all my time in the Premier League, I have never, ever, ever seen a groundsman walking around in the middle of our warm-up doing things."
