Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts committed a brutal foul on Crystal Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta during the FA Cup match, and the goalkeeper faced an equally severe punishment.
Details: The regulatory commission sided with the football association's arguments and extended Roberts' ban from three to six matches. The ban means Roberts will be sidelined until Saturday, April 5, when Millwall faces Sheffield United in the Championship.
Reminder: As a result of the clash with Roberts, Mateta suffered a torn ear injury that required 25 stitches .
