Swansea WON'T appeal Jordan Ayew red card from Huddersfield draw, fearing further action by the FA

Swansea have 'reluctantly decided' not to appeal against Jordan Ayew's red card at Huddersfield.

Ayew was sent off for an 11th-minute challenge on Terriers midfielder Jonathan Hogg on Saturday by referee Michael Oliver.

The Swans held on for a 0-0 draw with 10 men and manager Carlos Carvalhal later suggested the decision was harsh, arguing after the game that both players had made similar challenges as they competed for the ball.
