Cambridge United head coach Garry Monk has been banned from the touchline for one game and fined 拢1,000 after accepting a misconduct charge from the Football Association.

Monk admitted to improper and/or confrontation behaviour and using insulting or abusive language towards a match official in the 93rd minute and after the final whistle of the U's 1-0 home defeat by Rotherham in League One on 1 October.

Sam Nombe's injury-time goal gave the Millers victory - their first away from home for nearly two years.

It also extended Cambridge's club record of eight games at the start of an EFL season without a victory, which has since become nine matches.

Monk will be banned for the club's next game - at home against Wigan - on Saturday, 19 October.
