Chelsea winger Pedro Neto has received a fresh one-game suspension from the Football Association following his sending-off against Manchester United's rival in March. The 26-year-old was initially shown two yellow cards for dissent and dangerous play during their Premier League clash at Emirates Stadium on January, resulting in an immediate red card decision by match officials. FA disciplinary proceedings concluded with Neto facing a £70,000 fine alongside the additional ban after reviewing his conduct outside of pitch time or post-match reactions to Jurrien Timber's goal sequence.
