West Ham should appeal Cheikhou Kouyate red card in FA Cup victory

West Ham must have a good chance of overturning the red card Cheikhou Kouyatewas shown by Jon Moss.The Senegalese was dismissed for denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity when he clipped Blackburn’s Adam Henley.Henrly was through on goal but his first touch played the ball a long way in front of himself.There had to be doubt whether he would reach it before Darren Randolph in the West Ham goal.So a Hammers appeal would certainly not be seen as frivolous and should be overturned.It would mean that Kouyate would be available for next Saturday’s live game against Sunderland.
