Chelsea have appealed against the red card given to Frank Lampard at West Ham on Saturday.

Although The Blues won the game 4-0 at Upton Park, they were made to play for just under an hour with 10 men following Lampard’s dismissal. Lampard saw red for violent conduct after lashing out at Luis Boa Morte after the pair clashed just outside Chelsea’s penalty area.

The former West Ham midfielder was given a straight red by referee Peter Walton, although Chelsea have now claimed wrongful dismissal.

Chelsea’s appeal will be heard by a Regulatory Commission on Tuesday 4th March.
