(Reuters) - Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha has been handed an additional one-match ban and fined 50,000 pounds ($64,640) after admitting to acting in an improper manner after his red card at Bournemouth in the FA Cup this month, the FA said on Friday.

Cunha, who was initially handed a three-match ban after being sent off for a clash with Milos Kerkez, argued with referees, teammates and staff before leaving the pitch. Wolves lost the match on penalties.
