The big talking point in the game between Fulham and West Ham United was the dismissal of Tomas Soucek in injury time.

West Ham played out a goalless draw with Fulham away from home at Craven Cottage in London in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Hammers ended the game with 10 men due to the dismissal of Soucek in the seventh minute of injury time.

The defensive midfielder raised his elbow and caught Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic in the face.

Mitrovic went down to the ground, and although it looked like it was an accident, after a VAR check, referee Mike Dean decided to send off the 25-year-old.

West Ham have announced on their official website that they will appeal against the red card.
