Zlatan Ibrahimovic gets two-game ban after grabbing keeper by the neck

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been hit with a two-match ban in America's MLS after appearing to grab an opponent's neck.

The incident occurred on Saturday when Ibrahimovic's Los Angeles Galaxy were beaten 2-0 by New York City.

Former Manchester United striker Ibrahimovic had just lobbed New York goalkeeper Sean Johnson when the two players went head to head after the rebound had been sent over the bar by Chris Pontius.

Johnson barged into Ibrahimovic, who put his hand on the goalkeeper.

Twenty-nine-year-old Johnson threw himself down and rolled around on the floor, before referee Chris Penso issued he and Ibrahimovic with yellow cards.
