FA likely to pile misery on Spurs with increased Dawson ban

MICHAEL DAWSON has been charged with improper conduct by the FA and could face an increased ban as Tottenham bid to recover from their worst-ever start to a league season.

Dawson was dismissed in stoppage-time of the defeat to Stoke on Sunday and the charge relates to how he reacted when Lee Mason showed the red card.

The 24-year-old centre-back, who received a three-match ban for his tackle on Mamady Sidibe, has until 6pm today to answer the charges before his case is heard tomorrow.
