Hull City discover red card appeal fate after defender dismissal decision in West Brom defeat
West Brom picked up a comprehensive win against Hull City on Saturday - with the Tigers forced to play more than half of the game with ten men.
Albion were already 1-0 up - when Jed Wallace robbed Charlie Hughes of possession on the side of the box with the Hull defender bringing the Baggies captain down.
The referee brandished a red card to Hughes - sparking protests from the defender and his team mates.
There was some debate over whether it was a red card - with Hull boss Sergei Jakirovic stating after the game that the club intended to appeal the decision.
They did move forward with an appeal - but that has been quickly dismissed by the FA, meaning the Hull defender will have to serve a one game ban.
Speaking after the game, the former Albion and current Hull defender Semi Ajayi felt the decision was harsh but he understood why it was given.
He said: "At the time, I thought it was fifty-fifty.
"I can see why he's given it but I still think there's a lot of football that needs to be played before it becomes a goal-scoring opportunity.
"I don't think he (Wallace) necessarily shoots or scores from that position. I think he still needs to make another pass. Myself and Eags (John Egan) are back. I can see why he's given it, but I do think it's a little bit harsh."
