Tottenham have appealed the red card issued to Heung-Min Son in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Chelsea, confirms Mourinho.
Following his red card against Chelsea, Son Heung-Min has received a three-match suspension, beginning with the Brighton fixture on Boxing Day.
The South Korea international was shown his marching orders after a VAR review showed he raised his boot into Rudiger’s ribs.
Spurs head coach Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur have appealed the red card.
"I don't think it was a red card," Mourinho said ahead of the Boxing Day visit of Brighton.
"And they killed the game with the Son decision. I hope Son is not punished five times.
"One time was the foul that Rudiger did on him. The second he was sent off. The third would be not to play against Brighton, the fourth would be not to play against Norwich and the fifth would be not to play against Southampton.
"I think being punished twice is enough. He doesn't need the third, the fourth and the fifth."

The mighty Jackie Son has more red cards than Ramos this season Talk about levels! Heung-min dad and Heung-min mom must be disappointed with Heung-min Son!

Nothing will happen this time, it was a very stupid action from Son and this time there's no escape. Even as a Spurs fan I think it should not be overturned. On the bright side I hope Lo Celso is given a start. He deserves a start now.

I am a diehard Chelsea fan, all I can say is mourinho is mourinho and that is what is expected from him as a coach, he will defend his team we know him for that, his passion for his employees his second to none, in Lampard schooling mourinho the tactics truly works because they had played this system under conte and you can see Alonso so comfortable. This Tottenham team is not yet mourihos team, we had a great possession against Liverpool, Manchester teams but the finishing and game see off instincts is lacking, Lampard still lacking some tactical disciplined and when he buy players will be more worst. if we hadn't make the midfield compact and locking quickly the space behind it will have been a difficult game for us Chelsea. Great game and great point good for the teams confidence. Happy Xmas in advance.

Mourinho will never change. Son use to be a cool headed fellow, but dew weeks into working with Mourinho, Son is turning into a dirty player.

That challenge require 5 matches ban not 3. He kicked right into Rudiger’s ribs and it was deliberate. Gomes’s challenge was unintentional but this wasn’t the case.

Appealing for that son red card to the FA is like asking a dead person to walk out from his grave. Will never be overturned in a million years. Son totally warranted a red card for his actions, be a man and move on Jose.

As much as I appreciate Korean Sportsmanship, but Son deserved a red card and deserves this 3 match ban with his intentional foul on Rudiger!
