Steven Nzonzi, Stoke midfielder, wins appeal against red card
Last updated on .From the section Football
Stoke midfielder Steven Nzonzi has won his appeal against the red card he received in the 3-3 draw with Southampton at the Britannia Stadium.
The 24-year-old was shown a straight red by referee Mark Clattenburg for an apparent stamp on Jack Cork.
Stoke boss Tony Pulis disagreed with the decision and the club appealed.
The Football Association upheld a claim of wrongful dismissal and has therefore withdrawn the midfielder's three-match suspension with immediate effect.
Nzonzi will now be available for Stoke's FA Cup third round game against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
