Arsenal defender Emmanuel Eboue has been found guilty of violent conduct and given an automatic three-match ban following last Sunday's League Cup final brawl, the FA said on Thursday.

The Ivory Coast defender struck Chelsea's Wayne Bridge during the injury-time melee in the game, won 2-1 by Chelsea.

Eboue escaped punishment at the time - three other players were sent off and two booked in the incident - and denied the charge.

Eboue's team mates Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Adebayor will also serve three-match bans for their red cards while Chelsea's John Obi Mikel will miss four games as it was his second red card of the season.
