Man United captain Bruno Fernandes' red card against Tottenham is OVERTURNED after successful claim of wrongful dismissal

Bruno Fernandes' three-match ban has been overturned after Manchester United won an appeal against his sending-off in the defeat to Tottenham at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Fernandes was shown a straight red card for the first time in his United career by referee Chris Kavanagh for a tackle on James Maddison just before half-time. VAR upheld the decision even though Fernandes appeared to slip as he made the challenge.

The Portugal star was due to miss the games against Aston Villa, Brentford and West Ham, but the FA confirmed on Tuesday night that United’s appeal has been upheld.
