Brentford plans appeal for Thiago's red card during Brighton match

Brentford intends to appeal the red card shown to Igor Thiago during Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Brighton. The incident occurred in the 23rd minute when Thiago made contact with Chema Andres’ face, initially resulting in a yellow card that was upgraded to red after a VAR review. Brentford argues that the contact was not intentional and may not constitute violent conduct. The club is reviewing the incident and their options for the appeal, which follows their loss where they also conceded a penalty before halftime. Brentford currently sits eighth in the Premier League.
