Manchester City have lodged their appeal against Vincent Kompany's red card against Arsenal.

Speaking after the game, Mancini questioned the decision and claimed Kompany had not even committed a foul when challenging Wilshere. "We will appeal, because it is impossible that we can lose one player for three games for nothing. It is not a red card, it is nothing," he said. "He went into the tackle, anticipating the opponent and took the ball before. "I don't know how it is possible to get a red card like this. It was no foul, no red card."
