Stoke's Geoff Cameron wins appeal of red card, escapes three-match ban

Stoke defender Geoff Cameron will not have to serve a three-match ban after winning his appeal against the red card he received against West Brom on Saturday.

The United States international was dismissed by referee Lee Mason after he pushed Claudio Yacob in the back of the neck in response to the Argentine's challenge.

The FA withdrew Cameron's suspension in a statement on Monday.

It said: "An Independent Regulatory Commission found that the match referee had made an obvious error in dismissing the Stoke City player for violent conduct during the game against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
