Mansfield Town defender Maxime Chanot has been given a four-match ban after being sent off for violent conduct in the Stags' 1-1 draw with Weymouth.

Chanot appeared to head-butt Weymouth's Adam Bygrave during a confrontation.

Stags manager Billy McEwan told the club's website: "Max will be fined for his actions.

"It was a stupid thing to do. He had to go I'm afraid but, had he stayed on the field, we may well have gone on to win the game."

Chanot was also sent off at Stevenage Borough earlier this season.

The 19-year-old joined Mansfield on loan from Sheffield United in October.
