Sunderland will appeal Stephane Sessegnon's red card according to manager Paolo Di Canio.
The Benin international was sent off with around 20 minutes left of Monday night's 6-1 loss at Aston Villa for an apparent stamp on Yacouba Sylla but Di Canio feels it was a harsh decision.
"We saw the clip, there is not a bad challenge," he told Sky Sports.
"With the dynamic of the challenge, it can be a trap for the referee because from distance you see the dynamic, but there is not a nasty challenge.
"We will appeal of course."
