West Ham appeal red card

West Ham have told the  Football Association they will appeal against the red card shown to Sofiane Feghouli during Monday’s defeat to Manchester United.

Feghouli was sent-off after 15 minutes by arrogant referee Mike Dean for a 50/50 tackle on Manchester United defender Phil Jones as the Hammers lost 2-0 at the London Stadium. Replays show the decision had been harsh and West Ham will now appeal in the hope of sparing their midfielder a three-match suspension.

A West Ham club spokesman said: “The FA have been informed of our intention to appeal.”
