Wales and Real Madrid's forward Gareth Bale has been handed a two-match ban by La Liga's competition committee after he was sent off for pushing Las Palmas playmaker Jon Viera in Wednesday's 3-3 draw.Referee David Fernandez Borbalan dismissed Bale early in the second half, with the score at 1-1, after he kicked out at Viera before pushing him to the ground.
Las Palmas then went 3-1 ahead, only for Madrid's 10 men to draw level late on thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty and header.
Real Madrid have announced that they will appeal the sanction. Bale is set to miss La Liga matches against Eibar and Real Betis.
Wednesday's draw saw Real Madrid lose their spot atop the league with Barcelona taking a one-point lead.
