Struijk has red card shown after VAR intervention overturned

The red card controversially shown to Brighton defender Pascal Struijk at Sunderland after an intervention by the video assistant referee (VAR) has been overturned. Struijk was sent off after 57 minutes of Saturday's match at the Stadium of Light when he was adjudged to have fouled Sunderland forward Wilson Isidor as he tried to run on to a through-ball. Neither referee Thomas Bramall nor his assistant gave a foul initially, but VAR Neil Davies intervened and called the on-field official to the screen.
