Ikeme’s Three Match Suspension Reduced to Two Games by English FA


The English Football Association has reduced Wolverhampton Wanderers' goalkeeper, Carl Ikeme's three-match suspension to two matches, Completesportsnigeria.com reports. ‎
The reduction of Ikeme's suspension was confirmed on the FA's official website on Tuesday following an appeal by Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Ikeme was shown a straight red card for pushing Norwich City's player Wes Hoolahan after accusing the player of diving inside the 18 yard box to con the referee for‎ a penalty.
Wolverhampton Wanderers went on to lose the game 3-1.
A statement on the FA's website reads:"Carl Ikeme’s three-match suspension for violent conduct has been reduced to two matches after a claim of excessive punishment was successful.
"An earlier wrongful dismissal claim in relation to the Wolverhampton Wanderers player’s sending off against Norwich City on Saturday [21 January 2017] was rejected.
"Both claims were heard before an Independent Regulatory Commission today."
