Everton have successfully appealed Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s red card in the 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace in the FA Cup last week, with the striker’s subsequent three-match ban now overturned.
Calvert-Lewin was sent off in the second half for a challenge on Nathaniel Clyne which did not appear to be reckless or out of control. Referee Chris Kavanagh did not even award a free-kick as the incident happened but was advised to go over to the VAR monitor.
Kavanagh then give a red card which baffled players and fans, including opposition defender Joachim Andersen who shook the hand of Calvert-Lewin and was seen saying ‘it’s not a red’.
