Premier League: West Ham launch appeal against Feghouli red card

West Ham have launched an appeal against the red card shown to Sofiane Feghouli during Monday’s defeat by Manchester United.

The midfielder was sent off by referee Mike Dean for a challenge on Red Devils defender Phil Jones 15 minutes into a match the Hammers went on to lose 2-0.

The Algeria international. 27, is the fifth player to be dismissed by Dean in the Premier League this season.

Should a three-match ban be upheld, he would miss Friday’s FA Cup third-round home tie against Manchester City, as well as Premier League games with Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough.
