<text>  West Bromwich Albion midfielder Chris Brunt has been suspended for one match and fined 8,000 after accepting a Football Association misconduct charge. The 30-year-old had requested a personal hearing after being charged with using abusive andor insulting words andor behaviour towards a match official in or around the tunnel area after the final whistle following Albions 2-0 FA Cup defeat to Aston Villa this month. Brunt is banned with immediate effect and will miss Saturdays Barclays Premier League trip to Manchester City. West Bromwich Albion midfielder has been handed a one match ban and an 8,000 fine by the FA . Brunt argues with referee Anthony Taylor after he sends off Claudio Yacob during the game at Villa Park . The Northern Ireland international faced the threat of a two-game ban and Albions director of football administration Richard Garlick believes the punishment reflected the circumstances in which the game finished. Villa fans invaded the pitch at the final whistle and had also run onto the surface while the game was still in play, with the invasions the subject of an FA investigation. Referee Anthony Taylor had also sent off Albions Claudio Yacob and Villas Jack Grealish towards the end of the match. Thousands streamed on to the pitch after the match, which helped make Brunts an extraordinary case We had a fair hearing and feel the punishment is an acknowledgement by the Commission that this was an extraordinary case, said Garlick, after the Independent Regulatory Commission in London on Tuesday. It was a difficult end to the game for everyone and emotions were running high. I think Chriss disciplinary record, which has seen him issued with one red card in more than 400 appearances at the highest levels, was also rightly noted.
