The English Football Association (FA) denied the allegations on the 18th (Korea time). The Independent Regulatory Commission determined that there was evidence. 'The Independent Regulatory Commission has issued a seven-match suspension and a £100,000 fine for Bentancourt for violating FA Regulation E3 in connection with media interviews' As a result, Bentancourt will not be able to play in six English Premier League matches against Manchester City (away), Fulham (home), Bournemouth (away), Chelsea (home), Southampton (away), and Liverpool (home). In addition, they will not be able to play in the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup against Manchester United on December 20. He will only be able to join the EPL away game against Nottingham on 27 December.
It was predictable enough. Earlier, British media Daily Mail reported 'Action is expected for Bentancourt. There is a high possibility that he will be banned from seven games. Another media outlet, The Athletic, did not specify a specific period, but added that `Tottenham also expects Bentancur to be suspended for a long time.' The FA's disciplinary committee stipulated in its regulations that six to 12 games of suspension should be imposed for individual racism.

Bentancourt apologized to Son Heung-min through his personal SNS (social network service). The situation was not easily resolved. It was because of the authenticity of the apple. Bentancur posted an apology on a page that lasted only 24 hours. Sonny brother! It was a really bad joke. I apologize. You know how much I love you. I never meant to ignore or hurt you or anyone, of course. I love you. However, the problem grew even more by writing Son Heung-min as Sony, not Sonny, who is nicknamed Sonny. But Bentancourt didn't care. His messy apology disappeared in 24 hours, and Bentancur later freely conducted his SNS activities.
Tottenham and manager Enze Postecoglou were complacent. Postecoglou defended Bentancourt as a `mistake' and rushed to reduce the situation. He said "We know Bentancourt very well. I made a big mistake this time. You must be punished. It should provide opportunities for others to learn from this as well. Son Heung-min and Bentancourt held discussions in their own way. I think they both understand and respect each other's positions. I accepted the fact that someone close to me made a mistake. It's an opportunity to atone for learning. We understand everything and dream of a tolerant society. It is no exception to those who have made mistakes. Like Bentancourt."

In the end, Son Heung-min stepped up himself. He settled the situation through social media. When Son Heung-min expressed his position, Tottenham also belatedly mentioned the related content. Tottenham, which has remained silent so far, is trying to solve this problem well through SNS. We will provide education on diversity, equality, and inclusion to all athletes. I will fully support captain Son Heung-min so that he can leave the controversy behind and focus on the upcoming new season. We are proud of our global fans and our squad. There should be no discrimination of any kind in our club and society.
The accident occurred after the accident. Despite Son Heung-min's forgiveness, the FA gave Bentancur a strong punishment. Tottenham, which had been complacent, also suffered from Bentancourt's disciplinary action.
