Brentford win appeal against Norgaard red card

Brentford captain Christian Norgaard has avoided a three-match ban as the Bees successfully appealed against his red card in a 0-0 draw with Everton on 23 November.

The Denmark international was sent off in the 41st minute at Goodison Park following a challenge on Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford while attempting to score in the six-yard box.

The video assistant referee (VAR) recommended on-field referee Chris Kavanagh should review the incident on the pitch-side screen.

Norgaard was then shown a straight red card and would have faced a three-match suspension as he was dismissed for serious foul play.
