Crystal Palace have lodged an appeal against the red card shown to Jean-Philippe Mateta during their Premier League defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. The France international striker was dismissed in the match, leaving him facing a three-match suspension.
The club confirmed the appeal on Tuesday, seeking to overturn the decision that could sideline Mateta for upcoming fixtures. The incident occurred during the London derby at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Palace suffered a loss.
If the appeal fails, Mateta will miss three domestic matches, a significant blow for Palace's attacking options. The French forward has been a key figure for the Eagles this season.
