Andy Carroll: West Ham striker's red card appeal rejected

West Ham striker Andy Carroll has failed to overturn his red card against Swansea on Saturday after the Football Association dismissed his appeal.

The 25-year-old was sent off after clashing with Swans defender Chico Flores during his side's 2-0 win.

He will now miss the Hammers' Premier League games against Aston Villa, Norwich and Southampton.

In apparent reaction to the decision, Carroll, who set up both goals on Saturday, tweeted: "Disgraceful."
