LONDON: Chelsea forward Pedro Neto has been fined 70,000 pounds (US$93,000) and suspended for one match for misconduct after he was sent off in the Premier League defeat by Arsenal this month, the Football Association said on Friday. Neto received two yellow cards in the space of three minutes – one for dissent after an Arsenal goal and the second for a foul on Gabriel Martinelli, in the 2-1 loss to the league leaders. It was Chelsea's ninth red card of the season across all competitions and Neto admitted the charge against him. He will miss the match against Newcastle United on Saturday. The Portuguese winger also faces UEFA disciplinary proceedings after pushing a ball boy during Wednesday's 5-2 Champions League loss at Paris St Germain.--REUTERS
