Plymouth Argyle head coach Wayne Rooney has been given a one-match touchline ban and fined £5,500 by the Football Association after admitting charges of improper conduct.

Rooney was sent off towards the end of his side's 2-1 Championship win over Blackburn Rovers this month.

He was unhappy a foul was not given in the build-up to Rovers' late equaliser before Morgan Whittaker headed a winner deep in stoppage time for Argyle.

The former England captain, 38, admitted three charges relating to the incident.
