(Reuters) - West Ham United have appealed to the Football Association (FA) to rescind the red card shown to midfielder Tomas Soucek in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Fulham, the Premier League club said on Sunday.

Soucek was sent off in stoppage time when he appeared to accidentally elbow Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic in the face, with referee Mike Dean issuing a red card after looking at the incident on the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) monitor.
