Ipswich boss Paul Lambert has been given a two-game touchline ban and a £3,000 fine by the Football Association for his contribution to a clash involving staff during the East Anglian derby on February 10th.
Former Norwich manager Lambert was sent to the stands in the incident at Carrow Road which has also seen Norwich and Ipswich fined £25,000 and £20,000 respectively.
The passionate Championship game saw the Canaries dispatch their rivals 3-0, leaving the Tractor Boys bottom of the second tier.
The FA said in a statement: “Norwich have been fined £25,000 and Ipswich have been fined £20,000 after accepting a charge for failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during both the 45th and 90th minutes, as well as their officials in the 45th minute, of their Championship fixture on February 10 2019.
“In addition, Paul Lambert has been given a two-match touchline ban, effective immediately, and fined £3,000 after he also accepted an FA improper conduct charge concerning his behaviour in the 45th minute of the fixture.”
Lambert did not appeal against the charge but did send a letter to the FA outlining “mitigating circumstances” surrounding the red card he received.
The Scot’s ban means he will be absent from the touchline for Saturday’s trip to Wigan and the home game against Reading on March 2.
