Preston North End forward receives four-game ban after FA review incident in Bristol City clash

Preston striker Ched Evans has received a four-game ban following an altercation with Alex Scott in Bristol City's 2-1 victory at Deepdale last weekend.

The forward reacted angrily to an off-the-ball incident in the 79th minute of the contest that contributed to the 19-year-old midfielder falling to the turf holding his face. The referee missed the tussle at the time with Evans escaping without punishment.

During a high-tempered affair, Scott and his opponent challenged for an aerial ball with the hosts hoping to force an equaliser. The City starlet grabbed the arm of Evans after making a pass to which he reacted angrily by wrapping his arms around the neck of his opponent.
