Two outlets, one wire sentence, zero framing gap

Crystal Palace's appeal against Jean-Philippe Mateta's red card, shown during Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Tottenham, was rejected, leaving him suspended for three matches. BBC and Yahoo Sports both reported the outcome. Neither added context on which fixtures he'll miss, what the red card was for, or what Palace's options look like without him. There is no framing gap here because there is no framing.

What happened

Jean-Philippe Mateta, Crystal Palace's French striker, was shown a red card during the club's 2-0 Premier League defeat at Tottenham on Saturday. Palace appealed the decision. The appeal was rejected, and Mateta will serve a three-match ban. Two outlets covered the story: BBC Sport and Yahoo Sports. Both reported the same two facts in roughly the same order. Neither named the specific matches affected, the nature of the offense, or Palace's position in the table. That is the full wire version. Two outlets have it, and the coverage is identical.
