Crystal Palace Lose Appeal For Mateta Red

Crystal Palace have lost their appeal to the FA as they attempted to get Jean-Philippe Mateta's suspension reduced following his dismissal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening. 

Mateta was sent off after Michael Oliver reviewed the challenge on Micky Van De Ven, upgrading the initial yellow card. 

Palace were hopeful that the ban could be reduced so he doesn't miss two huge Premier League games against both Hull and Coventry.
