Mullins and Garcia fail in cup final appeals

WEST HAM’S Hayden Mullins and Liverpool’s Luis Garcia will miss the FA Cup final after their appeals for wrongful dismissal were rejected by the FA.

The pair received red cards after an incident nine minutes from time during Liverpool’s 2-1 victory at Upton Park on Wednesday.
