Barca will appeal Tito dismissal

Barcelona have announced they are going to appeal against coach Tito Vilanova’s red card during last night’s Primera Division win over Osasuna.

Vilanova, taking control of only his third competitive match since replacing Pep Guardiola, was sent to the stands in the 70th minute of the match for what the referee’s report claimed was “angrily protesting a play during the match after being warned by the assistant referee”.
