Goalkeeper Adrian's red card appeal unsuccessful

Tuesday 18 Aug 2015
West Ham goalkeeper Adrian will serve a three-match ban
A claim of wrongful dismissal submitted by West Ham United in relation to Adrian has been unsuccessful following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing earlier today.

The goalkeeper was dismissed for serious foul play during the game against Leicester City on Saturday (15 August 2015).

Therefore, the player's three-match suspension, which is the standard penalty for this offence, remains with immediate effect.

For a club to be successful with a claim of wrongful dismissal, it must prove to an Independent Regulatory Commission via written and/or video evidence that the match referee made an obvious error.
