Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert will be unable to instruct his team from the sidelines this weekend after being given a one-match touchline ban by the Football Association.

The former Norwich City boss has accepted a charge of improper conduct by the English governing body for his comments towards the match officials following Villa's 5-0 defeat to Manchester City.

Lambert blasted referee Jonathan Moss for awarding a penalty to the Premier League champions for a hand-ball offence, despite replays showing that the decision was unjustified.

Lambert, who has also been fined £8,000, will be absent from the touchline for Villa's match against Arsenal on Saturday.
