Cole loses appeal
Chelsea defender Ashley Cole on Friday lost his appeal for wrongful dismissal against Aston Villa.
The 27-year-old was dismissed for denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity in the final seconds of Wednesday's 4-4 Premier League draw at Stamford Bridge when he was adjudged to have handled the ball on the line.
He will serve a one-match suspension with immediate effect, ruling him out of Saturday's home game with Newcastle.
