Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira today lost a bid to have his red card against Chelsea overturned.
Vieira was sent off after receiving two yellow cards at Stamford Bridge yesterday.
The Football Association said in a statement today: "We can confirm that Patrick Vieira`s sending off at Stamford Bridge will stand. Referee Andy D`Urso will not be reconsidering his decision to dismiss Vieira for two cautions".
Vieira, who is now likely to face a one-match ban, has no right of appeal to the FA ruling.
