Mane was given his marching orders by referee Lee Mason in the dying minutes for a challenge on Stoke's Erik Pieters, which Southampton boss Ronald Koeman described as an error of judgement on the part of the officials.
Southampton have appealed against the straight red card shown to striker Sadio Mane during Saturday's 2-1 Premier League win over Stoke City, according to a statement on their Twitter account.
Mane was given his marching orders by referee Lee Mason in the dying minutes for a challenge on Stoke's Erik Pieters, which Southampton boss Ronald Koeman described as an error of judgement on the part of the officials.
Mane clashed with Pieters in mid-air but appeared to be looking at the ball and Koeman had indicated that the club would appeal after the game.
"The red card is a big mistake of the referee or maybe the fourth referee or the linesman," he had said.
