Everton have appealed against David Unsworth's sending off in Saturday's defeat by Chelsea at Goodison Park.

Everton have appealed against David Unsworth's sending off in Saturday's defeat by Chelsea at Goodison Park.

Unsworth was sent off following a tangle with Chelsea's Jesper Gronkjaer, although the Dane protested to referee Eddie Wolstenholme against the dismissal and has since offered his assistance at an appeal.

Everton have today officially lodged that appeal against the red card and the Football Association will wait for Wolstenholme's report before considering what action to take.
