West Brom forward Hal Robson-Kanu’s sending off at Burnley on Saturday has been upheld at an FA hearing.

Substitute Robson-Kanu was sent off for elbowing Matthew Lowton shortly after scoring the only goal of the Premier League game at Turf Moor.

The Wales forward posted a message on social media later in the evening claiming the foul "wasn't intentional".

The unsuccessful appeal means Robson-Kanu will now be suspended from Tuesday night's Carabao Cup tie at Accrington Stanley and the Premier League games against Stoke City and Brighton.
