The West Brom striker won a late penalty against Nottingham Forest.

Dwight Gayle has been handed a two-match retrospective ban after accepting a charge for diving in West Brom's 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest, the Football Association has announced.

The Baggies striker was hit with the charge after going down in the penalty area under pressure from Alexander Milosevic and Yohan Benalouane in the 89th minute of Tuesday's Championship clash at The Hawthorns.

Jay Rodriguez duly equalised from the penalty spot to rescue a point for the hosts.

An FA statement read: "Dwight Gayle will serve a two-match suspension with immediate effect after accepting a charge for 'successful deception of a match official'.

"It followed the awarding of a penalty in the 89th minute of West Bromwich Albion's game against Nottingham Forest in the Championship on 12 February 2019."

Gayle will now miss the next two Championship games against Aston Villa and QPR.

West Brom said in a statement published on their official website: "The club supports Dwight's view that he was attempting to avoid anticipated challenges in the 89th-minute incident which led to a penalty award for Albion.

"Although disappointed with the outcome, Albion have regrettably concluded any appeal would be fruitless."

Last season Omar Niasse was banned for two games for diving after winning a penalty for Everton against Crystal Palace.
