Fiorentina striker Alberto Gilardino was handed a two-match Serie A ban for scoring with his arm in Sunday's 3-1 win at Palermo.

The Italian league's sporting judge pronounced that the Azzurri striker deserved the sanction for his 'serious unsporting conduct'.

Gilardino's 19th minute opener was his seventh this season, which places him on top of the scoring charts in Italy.

The former AC Milan striker will now miss Wednesday's crunch game with leaders Inter Milan and next week's visit to Siena.
