Feghouli red card over turned

West Ham have confirmed that a Football Association Regulatory Commission has upheld the Club’s claim for wrongful dismissal in respect of the red card shown to Sofiane Feghouli against Manchester United.

The midfielder was sent-off during the first half of the Hammers’ 2-0 Premier League defeat by the Red Devils at London Stadium on Monday 2nd January, with the game goalless at the time.

The Club’s successful claim means Feghouli’s three-match suspension is withdrawn. The Algerian is therefore eligible to play against Manchester City in the Emirates FA Cup third round on Friday evening and in the following Premier League fixtures with Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough.
