Crystal Palace are appealing against Jean-Philippe Mateta's red card in the defeat by Tottenham on Saturday.

The striker was shown a straight red card by referee Michael Oliver for a late challenge on Micky van de Ven when the game was still 0-0, after just 13 minutes.

Oliver originally gave a yellow card but it was upgraded after a VAR review.
