Everton to appeal against Allan red card against Newcastle

Allan received a red card during the game.

The Brazilian was shown a yellow card by the referee after he brought down Allan Saint-Maximin.

The card was upgraded to red after the video assistant referee told the referee to review the foul.

If you wish to lodge a complaint, you must do so by Friday.

The club may consider a second appeal if it is unsuccessful.

Mike Riley, the referee's chief, apologized to the team after they were denied a penalty during the Manchester City game.

The referee was not told by the VAR to reconsider his decision.

Frank Lampard said he was frustrated by the decision to send off Allan in the game.

Did Allan seriously hurt a player? He kicked him. This is a sport. Was it red? Yes. Was it necessary for it to be changed? No.

Let's hope the referee's association can say we got that wrong.

We lost against Manchester City because of the loss of a pivotal player.

How many more things can we lose? It has gone wrong for us twice now because of the benefit of VAR.
