Everton have won their appeal over Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s controversial dismissal against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup, with the striker’s three-match ban overturned with immediate effect.
Calvert-Lewin was sent off for the first time in his career in the 79th minute of the third-round draw at Selhurst Park after an intervention by the VAR, Craig Pawson. Pawson sent the referee, Chris Kavanagh, to the pitch-side monitor to review what he considered serious foul play when the striker scooped the ball away from Nathaniel Clyne and caught the defender in the process.
