Fulham: Cole gets further ban and heavy fine

Andy Cole has been banned for a further three games and fined heavily after being found guilty of violent conduct and abusing a match official.

Fulham striker Cole was given his marching orders after a punch-up with Neil Clement - who also saw red - in the 1-1 draw at West Brom last month.

At a Football Association disciplinary hearing on Wednesday, Cole was suspended for two games relating to the abuse charge and given a one-match ban for lashing out at Clement, after already serving a three-game suspension for the red card he received after the fracas.

Cole has also been fined £10,000 plus costs.
