Western Sydney Wanderers midfielder Youssouf Hersi has received a two-match suspension following his dismissal against Perth Glory.

Western Sydney Wanderers midfielder Youssouf Hersi has received a two-match suspension following his dismissal in Sunday’s defeat of Perth Glory.

Hersi was shown a straight red card after he retaliated following a tough challenge from Perth Glory-s Scott Jamieson, the on Monday, the independent Match Review Panel (MRP) found the Dutchman-s foul was worthy of a two-match suspension, meaning he will miss the Wanderers- upcoming games against Melbourne Victory and Wellington Phoenix.

On other matters, the MRP also confirmed the change of goalscorers from two Round 7 games: Reds forward Jeronimo Neumann was awarded the goal in Adelaide-s defeat of Melbourne Heart, originally called a Simon Colosimo own goal; and Brisbane Roar-s first goal against Sydney FC has been credited to Matt Smith, rather than free kick-taker Thomas Broich.
