Fulham defender Joachim Anderson has had his one-match ban overturned after being sent off in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Newcastle United.

Andersen was sent off in the 62nd minute in a controversial incident, which saw Newcastle - who were trailing 1-0 at the time - awarded a penalty.

The former Lyon man was adjudged to have fouled Callum Wilson by tugging his shirt as the Newcastle striker drove into the box, but replays appeared to show that the contact had started and finished outside the area.

An independent commission has accepted Fulham's claim of wrongful dismissal, meaning Andersen will be available to face Southampton on Boxing Day.
