LONDON: West Ham United midfielder Tomas Soucek's red card in Saturday's goalless Premier League draw at Fulham has been overturned following an appeal to the FA, the club said on Monday. West Ham on Sunday said they had appealed to the FA to rescind the red card. "The appeal against Soucek’s red card was reviewed by an independent regulatory commission this morning at the Football Association and, following this process, the midfielder’s suspension has been rescinded and lifted with immediate effect," West Ham said in a statement https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2021/february/08-february/tomas-soucek-red-card-rescinded-appeal. West Ham manager David Moyes said it was an "embarrassing decision" by VAR and Dean. Last week, Southampton appealed and successfully rescinded Jan Bednarek's red card in their 9-0 loss at Manchester United after the defender was sent off by Dean.
