  • The FA have revealed their decision to "seek an increased sanction" after Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts was sent off against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The FA has decided not to extend the three-match ban imposed on Crystal Palace's Joachim Andersen following his red card in the match against Millwall. Andersen was sent off for a challenge on Millwall's striker, Tom Bradshaw, which sparked controversy and debate over the severity of the punishment. Despite appeals from Millwall for a longer suspension, the FA concluded that the standard three-game suspension was sufficient.

The incident and its aftermath have fueled discussions on the consistency and adequacy of disciplinary actions in football.
