Swansea successful in appeal to FA to overturn Leroy Fer's red card against Wolves in third round of FA Cup

Leroy Fer's red card against Wolves in the FA Cup has been successfully overturned, the Football Association has announced.

The Dutch midfielder was sent off in the third round clash at the Molineux after fouling Helder Costa, which Anthony Taylor viewed as violent conduct.

Swansea disagreed with the decision and eventually launched a bid to rescind the red card, along with the three-match suspension.
