Premier League star banned for two further matches and fined £50,000 for offensive comments to officials

He found out the decision today.

The player was sent off and then was then subsequently charged by the FA for breach of rule E3(1), prohibiting improper conduct, for insulting language towards referee Stuart Attwell and fourth official Gavin Ward.

Having already served a three-match ban for his red card, Jack Stephens of Southampton will now miss the Saints' upcoming fixtures against Arsenal and Leicester City.

Russell Martin's side were comfortably defeated 3-1 at Bournemouth last night without their defender.

Writing in a letter for the FA Regulatory Commission, Stephens stated: I am well aware that what I said was completely unacceptable and below the standard of conduct expected of me,"

"I am very embarrassed by my behaviour and want to apologise sincerely for it."

The player called fourth official Ward a "f***ing little c***" following his red card, whilst also calling Attwell a "c***", as per The Athletic.
