Carlo Ancelotti insists Everton will appeal Lucas Digne's red-card from the loss to Southampton.

The Frenchman was given his marching orders for a tackle on Kyle Walker-Peters in the 2-0 defeat at St. Mary's.

Ancelotti told Sky Sports: "It was a joke - it was not intentional.

"It was not violent conduct so they could've checked better. Maybe all the rumours during the week against [Jordan] Pickford and against Richarlison affected the decision, and if it is like this, it's not right. It's not fair."
