Heung-Min Son: FA panel was split over whether to rescind red card after Andre Gomes injuryReferee Martin Atkinson shows Heung-min Son a red card following his challenge on Everton's Andre GomesThe FA panel which overturned Heung-Min Son’s sending off at Everton earlier this month failed to reach a unanimous verdict. Detailing a rare majority verdict, the FA's Independent Regulatory Commission voted two to one to overturn Martin Atkinson's sending off, after Son's tackle led to Andre Gomes suffering a fractured dislocation of his right ankle. Controversially the commission chose not to consider the injury suffered by Gomes when reviewing Atkinson's decision. "This secondary movement of Son's left leg served ultimately to endanger the safety of his opponent pursuant to Law 12. "It was concluded that Son had made a challenge on Gomes which would warrant no more than a caution rather than a straight red card."
