Kitson was given the caution after a challenge with Denilson.
"I have seen it again and I invite the referee to watch it again and rescind the yellow card," he said.
"Even Fabregas looked at me to say it was not even a foul, let alone a yellow card.
"I have slid in with my long legs and won the ball fair and square.
"I did not realise at the time, but Denilson has jumped in on me with two feet - and I have the scars to prove it.
"If my foot had been planted, I would have broken my leg - and yet I have been booked for it."
