Dyche said Duff's red card "ruined the game"

Burnley have appealed against defender Michael Duff's red card in Saturday's 1-0 defeat by West Ham.

Duff was sent off for a professional foul on Cheikhou Kouyate, conceding a penalty which Mark Noble scored.

But boss Sean Dyche said after the game: "It's impossible for it to be a red card. Jason Shackell is in position to go and cover."

If the appeal fails, Duff will miss Saturday's game at Hull - a game the Clarets must win or be relegated.
