Abel Hernandez handed three-match ban for Phil Jones 'punch'

Hull City's Abel Hernandez is handed a three-match ban for striking Manchester United defender Phil Jones during last weekend's 0-0 draw.

Hull City striker Abel Hernandez will serve a three-match ban at the start of next season, having admitted an FA charge of violent conduct.

The 24-year-old struck defender Phil Jones during the Tigers' goalless draw against Manchester United on the final day of the campaign - a result which spelt the end of the club's two-year Premier League stay.

Match officials at the KC Stadium failed to spot the incident at the time, but a panel of three former elite referees unanimously voted that the Uruguayan's action was a red-card offence.

Hernandez, a £10m capture from Palermo last summer, has now accepted the charge and will therefore miss the start of his side's Championship campaign.
