LA Galaxy forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been suspended for two games after he grabbed New York FC goalkeeper Sean Johnson by the throat during last Saturday's game that ended in a 2-0 Galaxy defeat.
The league's disciplinary committee announced the suspension on Friday, citing Ibrahimovic's violent conduct.
Former Manchester United star got into a quarrel with the goalkeeper in the 86th minute of the match after his failed goal. The 37-year-old Swede grabbed Johnson's neck with his right hand until they both fell on the ground. Both footballers received a yellow card for the incident.
