Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has been ​handed a one-match suspension and ‌a fine of 8,000 pounds ​for confronting the ⁠match officials after its Premier League loss to Manchester City, the ‌Football Association (FA) said on Friday.

Soon after City ‌won 1-0 at Leeds ‌last ⁠month, Farke made a ⁠beeline for the referee after the final whistle and was quickly ​shown a red ‌card, with assistant manager Edmund Riemer suggesting what the German said was “too aggressive”.

“It ‌was alleged that the manager ​entered the field of play at full ⁠time to confront the match official/s, contrary to Law 12 ‌of the Laws of the Game,” the FA said in a statement.

“Daniel Farke subsequently admitted the charge against him and accepted ‌the standard one-match suspension and 8,000 ​pounds fine.”

Leeds is 15th in the league standings ⁠and next hosts Norwich City—a team Farke previously managed—in the fifth ‌round of the FA Cup on Sunday.
