Joe Cole and Carlton Cole stated West Ham's Aaron Cresswell was rightly sent off in the first half of his side's Europa League semi-final on Thursday.
Trailing 2-1 from the first leg last week, the Hammers were dealt a hammer blow in the 19th minute of their last-four tie against Eintracht Frankfurt when left back Cresswell dragged down Jens Petter Hauge and received his marching orders.
The visiting side's players were furious with the decision, but BT Sport pundits Cole and Cole - both former West Ham players - insisted it was the right call.
