 Judi Online -  West Ham have lost their appeal over goalkeeper Adrian’s dismissal against Leicester at Upton Park on Saturday.

The Hammers’ Spanish shot-stopper is now facing a three-match ban after being sent off late on against the Foxes.

Adrian was shown a straight red card for a high challenge on the visitors' striker, Jamie Vardy.

He caught Vardy in the stomach with his boot in the process of trying to hook the ball back into the box and West Ham believe the contact was unintentional.

Right-back Carl Jenkinson was forced to play in goal after Adrian went off as the Hammers had made all three substitutions.

"I ended up in goal but fortunately I didn't have too much to do."

Hammers manager Slaven Bilic said after the game that he was sure Adrian did not mean to catch Vardy, but admitted it "could have been seen as a red card" owing to the height of the challenge.

Shinji Okazaki and Riyad Mahrez netted goals for Leicester, meaning Dimitri Payet's fine strike for the home side counted for nothing.
