Bournemouth have appealed against the red card handed to Simon Francis during the 3-3 draw with Arsenal on Tuesday night.

Francis was sent off by referee Michael Oliver following a tackle on Aaron Ramsey in the second half of the Premier League encounter at the Vitality Stadium.

The straight red card brings with it a three-match ban should the appeal be unsuccessful.
