Virgil Van Dijk hit with fine and has suspension extended after Newcastle red

Liverpool captain Virgil Van Dijk has been handed an additional one-match ban and a £100,000 fine after being charged with acting in an improper manner following his red card at Newcastle.

The Netherlands international was dismissed for a foul on Alexander Isak in the first half of Liverpool's 2-1 Premier League victory at St James' Park on 27 August, but initially refused to leave the pitch and then remonstrated with referee John Brooks.

An automatic one-match ban saw the centre-back suspended for the 3-0 win over Aston Villa before the international break, but he will now also serve an additional suspension and so misses the trip to Wolves on 16 September.

A statement from the FA read: "The defender admitted that he acted in an improper manner and used abusive and insulting words towards a match official after being sent off in the 29th minute and the sanctions were subsequently imposed by an independent regulatory commission."
