Mason to serve one-match touchline ban at Stoke

West Bromwich Albion boss Ryan Mason will serve a one-match touchline ban against Stoke City on Saturday after he admitted an FA charge of misconduct following his dismissal in the 1-1 draw with Portsmouth.

Mason, who has also been fined £2,000, was given a yellow card after a penalty claim was waved away, he was then shown the red card when he felt Pompey defender Regan Poole should have been sent off.

Striker Aune Heggebo was hauled back by Poole when through on goal, with the defender having already been booked.

This came just moments after Albion were denied a penalty when Heggebo appeared to be tripped by Connor Ogilvie.

Mason was seen to kick out at the bench in the technical area and was in conversation with the fourth official.

The result ended Baggies' perfect start to the season but they still sit fourth in the table and remain unbeaten.
