Southampton defender Jack Stephens has been given an additional two-match suspension following his sending off against Manchester United.

Stephens was subsequently charged by the FA for breaching Rule E3(1), which prohibits improper conduct, for using abusive and insulting language towards referee Stuart Attwell and fourth official Gavin Ward.
The Saints player has been handed a £50,000 fine and an additional two-match suspension.
