Antonio Conte handed UEFA ban after Champions League red card amid Harry Kane VAR controversy

Antonio Conte has been suspended for one UEFA game, meaning he will miss Tottenham's all-important clash against Marseille next week. His sending-off came moments after Harry Kane's supposed winning goal against Sporting Lisbon was ruled out by a controversial VAR decision that adjudged the forward to be offside.

A win would've guaranteed Spurs' qualification for the knockout rounds, but a point a-piece means that they still have work to do in Group D. They will be without their head coach in France next week, though, as a furious Conte was dismissed in the closing moments of the game in north London.

As per The Athletic, the extent of his punishment is a one-match UEFA ban.
