Crystal Palace appeal Luka Milivojevic red card against Wolves branded “gross injustice” by Roy Hodgson

Crystal Palace have appealed Luka Milivojevic's red card shown against Wolves.

The Serbian midfielder was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Joao Moutinho during Friday night’s 2-0 defeat, which manager Roy Hodgson protested against following the game.

"If it was up to me, I would certainly want to appeal it,” said the Palace boss. “To get three games for that would be a gross injustice and it will round-off a very disappointing evening for us because we lost the game.

“To be perfectly honest, in the game, I didn’t notice it [the foul] at all. It wasn’t the sort of foul or situation again that would make you jump up and think that’s a terrible challenge and that’s a red card. 

"The ball went away thanks to the fact Luka won the ball, it moved further forward, and I was following the ball to see how we were going to defend the next situation.

“To face the prospect of losing Luka for three games for something which I really do not agree with, that’s going to make this evening a much tougher pill to swallow.”
