Bournemouth appeal Francis red card
Simon Francis was sent off against Arsenal, but Bournemouth are seeking to have that decision overturned.
Bournemouth have appealed against the red card shown to Simon Francis in Tuesday's 3-3 Premier League draw with Arsenal.
The defender was sent off in the 82nd minute for a foul on Aaron Ramsey with the score at 3-2 to the hosts, and Arsenal went on to capitalise on their man advantage, completing a comeback from 3-0 down to draw courtesy of Olivier Giroud's 92nd-minute equaliser.
"I didn't think it was a sending off on first view," Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe told Sky Sports after the game.
"I don't think his feet were raised enough on contact to warrant a red card, that was my view the first time and my view when I watched it again. So I think we were harshly treated there."
Francis will miss Bournemouth's FA Cup tie with Millwall and the Premier League meetings with Hull City and Watford if his appeal is unsuccessful.
