West Ham's Feghouli has red card overturned

Sofiane Feghouli has had the red card he received during West Ham's 2-0 defeat to Manchester United overturned.

Algeria winger Feghouli was dismissed after 15 minutes at London Stadium as referee Mike Dean adjudged his tackle on United defender Phil Jones to constitute serious foul play.

The 27-year-old was facing a three-match, but West Ham appealed against the punishment to the Football Association (FA) and Feghouli will now be eligible for Friday's FA Cup third-round tie at home to Manchester City.

An FA statement confirmed: "Sofiane Feghouli has had his claim of wrongful dismissal upheld today [Wednesday 4 January 2017] following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing.
