LondoncTypeface:> Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has had his red card against Tottenham on Sunday overturned. The Portugal midfielder was sent off by referee Chris Kavanagh for a high tackle on James Maddison during the 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford. Fernandes clearly slipped on the wet surface before catching Maddison on the shin. United appealed against the decision and the Football Association has upheld a claim of wrongful dismissal. Fernandes, who was facing a three-match suspension, will now be able to play against Aston Villa this Sunday. The FA said: “Bruno Fernandes will be available for Manchester United’s next three games following a successful claim of wrongful dismissal. “The midfielder was sent off for serious foul play during the Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, September 29.” Fernandes was adamant after the game that Kavanagh had made a mistake. The 30-year-old told Sky Sports: “Apart from slipping going in, I don’t take him as everyone wants to see it.” (PA Media/dpa)
