FA reduces goalkeeper’s 3-game-ban

Ikeme was shown the red card for pushing Norwich City player Wes Hoolahan after accusing the player of diving inside the 18-yard-box to get a penalty.

The straight red card meant three-match ban for the 30-year-old but the FA has reduced it to two after the decision was appealed by Wolves.

"Carl Ikeme’s three-match suspension for violent conduct has been reduced to two matches after a claim of excessive punishment was successful,” a statement on the FA's website reads.

"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.
