West Ham win Feghouli appeal -
- (January 4th 2017)
West Ham midfielder Sofiane Feghouli has had his dismissal against Manchester United rescinded by the Football Association.
Feghouli was shown a straight red card by referee Mike Dean following a collision with Phil Jones in the first half on Monday night and faced a three-match ban.
But the Algerian will be available for Slaven Bilic's side against Manchester City in the FA Cup on Friday after the red card was overturned.
A club statement read: "West Ham United can confirm that a Football Association Regulatory Commission has upheld the club's claim for wrongful dismissal in respect of the red card shown to Sofiane Feghouli against Manchester United."
Vice-chairman Karren Brady had earlier confirmed the successful appeal on Twitter, saying: "I have just received a call to confirm Sofiane will not be required to serve a 3 match suspension and is eligible to play Friday."
