Burnley have appealed against the red card shown to defender Michael Duff in Saturday's defeat to West Ham.
Duff, 37, was sent off by referee Jon Moss for bringing down Cheikhou Kouyate midway through the first half.
The defender was deemed to have denied the West Ham player a goalscoring opportunity inside the penalty area, with Mark Noble scoring the only goal of the game from the spot as a result of the foul.
Burnley had until 1 p.m. on Tuesday to submit their appeal to the Football Association and, in a statement their official website, they confirmed they had now done so. The appeal will now be considered by an independent disciplinary panel.
After the match, Clarets manager Sean Dyche criticised Moss' decision to dismiss Duff.
"I've got no problem with the fact it's a penalty. I think there's a stadium full of people who are very surprised it's a sending-off,'' he said. "I can only imagine their manager was surprised. Their staff were certainly surprised. I think the subs were surprised it was a sending-off.
"I think the groundsman was surprised it was a sending-off, I think the linesman was surprised it was a sending-off. I think there was a tube station nearby where they were surprised it was a sending-off.
"When you really need decisions to be right, in my opinion it wasn't right. It's a massive moment in a game like this. That changes everything. It's hard enough to win games at this level 11 v 11.
"It's a real sadness to me that at this stage of the season and these vital games I'm having to speak about a referee's decision which quite obviously changed the game.''
