Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor escaped a ban for his extravagant goal celebration against former club Arsenal and is free to play again on Monday.
Adebayor, who has just finished a three-game ban for another incident in the same game, ran the length of the field to celebrate in his goal in front of the Gunners fans during City\'s 4-2 victory last month.
The incident led to violent scenes in the crowd.
The Football Association disciplinary commission fined the Togo international ₤25,000 today after he admitted a charge of improper conduct.
Although it imposed a two-game ban, it is suspended until December 2010.
Arsenal fans reacted angrily to Adebayor\'s celebrations, hurling objects on to the field with one steward being knocked unconscious.
