West Ham to appeal Feghouli red card

London - West Ham are to appeal the controversial sending-off of Sofiane Feghouli, a spokesman for the Premier League club told Press Association Sport on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old Algerian international winger was given a straight red card by referee Mike Dean for a tackle on Phil Jones after just quarter of an hour of Monday's Premier League match with Manchester United.

United ended up scoring two second-half goals to win 2-0.

The decision incensed Hammers manager Slaven Bilic and the club have moved to have it reversed.

"The FA have been informed of our intention to appeal," a club spokesman told PA.

Feghouli, who was making his first Premier League start since joining West Ham from Spanish side Valencia on a free transfer last summer, is in danger of missing Friday's FA Cup match with Manchester City and league matches against strugglers Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
