Scott Parker: Bournemouth boss given one-match ban and fine by FA after red card

Bournemouth manager Scott Parker has been given a one-match touchline ban and fined £2,000 by the Football Association for using abusive language.

Parker admitted using abusive, insulting and improper language in the 90th minute of the 2-1 Championship defeat at Preston on Saturday, 5 March.

The 41-year-old was sent to the stands after Preston's late winner. Parker felt there was a foul in the build-up.

He will watch Tuesday's game with Reading from the stands at Dean Court.

Victory over the struggling Royals will help the Cherries consolidate second place in the Championship.
