Right-back Furlong was shown a straight red card by referee Adam Herczeg in first-half stoppage time for an apparent alleged elbow on Hoops winger Koki Saito.
Replays appeared inconclusive though head coach Mowbray saw the incident unfold in front of him and believes the incident was a coming together of shoulders, in which QPR's player lowered his head and had his face caught on Furlong's upper arm.
The right-back could face a three-game ban for the incident, ruling him out of clashes against Burnley, Hull and Norwich after the international break. Mowbray confirmed the club will look to lodge an appeal against the ban, though.
“It happened right in front of me – so I can't sit here and plead Arsene Wenger glasses! Darnell tried to block the guy, there was no elbow but the lad tried to duck under his shoulder to avoid the block and caught his face on the top of Darnell’s arm,” said Mowbray.
