Sanchez headed for FA charge

Wycombe Wanderers manager Lawrie Sanchez is facing a charge from the Football Association after being sent off in his side's shock 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final win at Leicester City.

Sanchez was banished from the pitch 17 minutes from time following his protests at the failure of his team to receive a penalty.

Defender Steve Brown's cross appeared to be handled by City's Stefan Oakes in the penalty area but referee Steve Bennett brushed away Wycombe's appeals and ordered Sanchez to leave the dugout.

When push comes to shove and they have to give a decision for a little club like us at a premier league ground they don't give it

The furious Wycombe boss had strode up the touchline to confront the linesman, who was only 15 yards from the incident.

Bennett said later he would be reporting Sanchez to the FA over the incident but refused to elaborate.

He also red-carded Brown after a second booking for removing his shirt during Wycombe's goal celebrations at the end.

Sanchez, who scored Wimbledon's winner in their 1-0 FA Cup final victory over Liverpool in 1988, was still fuming in a post-match news conference and his comments could land him in further trouble with the FA.

"You have to question why the referee and linesman are out there," he said.

I thought it was a penalty. I can sympathise with Lawrie

  Leicester boss Peter Taylor

"Sure, they can send a guy off for taking his shirt off but when push comes to shove and they have to give a decision for a little club like us at a premier league ground they don't give it.

"It was so obvious. The linesman was only 15 yards away...but never mind that that decision could have cost my club over a million pounds and could have stopped my career as a manager.

"It's not good enough and it wasn't even a hard decision to make.

Leicester manager Peter Taylor said: "I thought it was a penalty. I can sympathise with Lawrie."
