First red card: 3 games + 1 more because it was his second.
Kneeing the player in the back would get him another red card. So that's another 3 games plus 2 more because it was his third. So now we're at 9 games. Then he still refused to leave the pitch, touched heads with Kompany, and he is a prior history of such behaviour. All of that probably caused the FA to add the additional 3 games.
