Calls for Arsenal striker Yaya Sanogo to be 'banned for rest of season'

MK Dons boss Karl Robinson says Arsenal striker Yaya Sanogo should be banned for the remainder of the season.

Robinson has called for Charlton's Sanogo to be banned for the remainder of the season after his off-the-ball elbow on Antony Kay in Tuesday's draw at The Valley.

Robinson angrily said: "It was disgusting. He should be banned for the rest of the season.

"He's clearly, off the ball, had a go and then a second one. Rob Hall too was clotheslined on the far side of the pitch. Some of the tackles were borderline assault. I was expecting to see the police in the tunnel at full-time.

"I know it's about the fight and competing for survival in one of the most difficult leagues in Europe, but there has to be an element of control.

"It's not acceptable. He could have broken his jaw. Their manager (Jose Riga) didn't shake my hand until we were in the tunnel either, so it ended on a bitter note for me. But we were the better team."
