The FA has upheld a claim of wrongful dismissal in relation to Sunderland defender Wes Brown. Brown was dismissed by referee Roger East during Sunderland's 2-0 defeat to Manchester United on Saturday for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity when Radamel Falcao was tripped inside the penalty area.
However, television replays showed it was Brown's team-mate John O'Shea who should have been sent off and the Black Cats appealed.
Brown's one-match suspension has now been withdrawn with immediate effect and he will be free to face Hull City on Tuesday.
