Newcastle midfielder Tiote's appeal rejected
Newcastle midfielder Cheik Tiote will serve a three-match ban after his appeal against his red card during Saturday’s FA Cup third-round defeat at Stevenage was dismissed.
The 24-year-old Ivorian was shown a straight red card by referee Andre Marriner for a lunging tackle on Jon Ashton in the 71st minute of the Magpies’ 3-1 at Broadhall Way.
