Leicester chief Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha slams 'unfair judgement' after Jamie Vardy's red card appeal is rejected

Leicester chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha has described the decision to reject Jamie Vardy's appeal against his red card as 'unfair'.

Vardy was sent off at Stoke on Saturday for a two-footed challenge on Mame Biram Diouf, with referee Craig Pawson deeming the foul reckless enough to warrant a straight red.

The champions contested the call, but a Football Association disciplinary panel upheld the decision and Vardy will now serve a three-match suspension.
