Sergej Jakirovic has revealed that Hull City could consider appealing the red card shown to Charlie Hughes during their 3–0 defeat to West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns.
The defender was sent off in the 36th minute after bringing down Jed Wallace while the West Brom winger was advancing down the right flank. Referee Josh Smith wasted little time in producing a straight red card, leaving Hull with a significant challenge for the remainder of the match.
At the time of the dismissal, the home side were already ahead thanks to Josh Maja, who had opened the scoring in the 24th minute.
The numerical advantage eventually told as Aune Heggebø doubled West Brom’s lead with just over 20 minutes left to play. Isaac Price then added a third goal deep into stoppage time, sealing a convincing victory for the Baggies.
As things stand, Hughes is set to miss Hull City’s upcoming Yorkshire derby against Sheffield Wednesday next weekend due to suspension. However, Jakirovic confirmed the club will review the incident and decide whether to lodge an appeal against the decision. ⚽
