Premier League star has weekend red card rescinded for ‘wrongful dismissal’

The Football Association have announced that Pascal Struijk has had his red card for Brighton rescinded. Struijk was sent off in the 57th minute of their 2-0 win at Sunderland on Saturday for denying Wilson Isidor a goal-scoring opportunity. It meant he was set to miss the derby clash against Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend as part of a one-match ban. However, this has now been overturned and Struijk is free to play. “An independent Regulatory Commission has upheld a claim of wrongful dismissal in relation to Pascal Struijk and moved his one-match suspension,” a statement said.
