Brentford learn Igor Thiago red card verdict after official appeal

Brentford have lost their appeal against striker Igor Thiago's red card from their recent Premier League match against Brighton and Hove Albion. Thiago was sent off for violent conduct following a pitchside monitor review by referee Michael Oliver after an alleged elbow on Chema Andres. The club confirmed via an official statement that the dismissal was upheld and the Brazilian forward will serve a three-match suspension.

Following the unsuccessful appeal, Thiago is set to miss Brentford's upcoming league fixtures against Everton, Manchester United, and Arsenal. The dismissal took place during a 2-0 defeat for Keith Andrews' side at the Amex Stadium, where Diego Gomez and Pascal Gross scored for Brighton.
