Richard Dunne's red card at Leeds United earned a surprising 5-match ban:

• The offence of serious foul play earns an automatic three-match ban
• Dunne had already been sent off at Derby, earning another match ban
• Dunne was also withdrawn in the pre-season friendly at Rotherham

It appears that the Rotherham incident was counted as a previous red card, or carried an additional suspended sentence of a further one-match ban.  Dunne was also sent off when playing for the Republic of Ireland, but this should not have been counted in his club-level punishment.

Notes:

1. Table does not include suspensions carried over from last season.
2. Table includes cards received in League Cup and FA Cup matches
3. Table may list some but not all cards (in italics) received in the FA Reserves League. 
   (Note: These cards do count towards suspensions that apply to senior matches)
4. Totals relate to all senior Everton matches and do not include cards [1] picked up by players at their former or loan clubs, in friendlies {1}or in the reserves (in italics).
5. Table does not include cards picked up in International matches. 
6. Impending suspensions are listed as (+1), etc.
