Video: Phil Bardsley’s Stamp On Juan Mata
Sunderland defender Phil Bardsley will be hit with a four-match ban for stamping on Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata.
TV footage showed Bardsley planting his right boot into the lower back of the Spain star, who had initially been tripped by Craig Gardner in the 44th minute of Sunderland’s 2-1 home defeat last Saturday.
After studying video evidence, FA disciplinary chiefs have retrospectively charged Scotland full back Bardsley with violent conduct.
