Rose red card overturned

Danny Rose has won his appeal over the red card he was awarded against Manchester City on Wednesday night.

The Tottenham left-back was shown a straight red for a challenge on Edin Dzeko in the penalty area (even though he won the ball) in our 5-1 loss to the Premier League leaders.

A statement on the FA website read: “Danny Rose’s one-match suspension has been withdrawn with immediate effect, after the Tottenham Hotspur player’s wrongful dismissal claim was upheld by an Independent Regulatory Commission.

“Rose was dismissed in Tottenham’s game against Manchester City on Wednesday 29 January 2014, for denying a goal scoring opportunity.”
