• In-form Villa striker will now be banned for three games
• Unai Emery believes ‘stamp’ on Schär was unintentional

Aston Villa are shocked and disappointed after the Football Association rejected their appeal against Jhon Durán’s red card, meaning the striker will serve a three-match ban.

The Colombian was given a straight red card by the referee Anthony Taylor after being adjudged to have intentionally stamped on Newcastle defender Fabian Schär after the pair collided in the first half of Villa’s Boxing Day defeat.
