November 19 – The severity of the seven-game ban meted out to Tottenham Hotspur’s Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has prompted widespread dismay and bewilderment across the English game with authorities accused of inconsistency verging on victimisation.
Bentancur was banned for using a racial slur about Spurs team-mate Son Heung-min, fined £100,000 and ordered to take part in a mandatory education programme, unable to play for his club again (except in Europe) until Boxing Day.
