Stoke City appeal Geoff Cameron dismissal at West Bromwich Albion

Stoke City have appealed Geoff Cameron's red card in the 2-1 defeat at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

United States international Cameron was dismissed by referee Lee Mason after he pushed Claudio Yacob in the back of the neck in response to the Argentine's challenge.

Stoke boss Mark Hughes said after the game that he believed Yacob had deliberately sought to ensure Cameron was shown a red card and announced his intention to appeal.

A club statement on Monday read: "The club will lodge their appeal submission to the Football Association later today."

Cameron was dismissed minutes after Jonathan Walters had levelled for Stoke, with Jonny Evans then scoring West Brom's winner in injury time.
