Football Association overturns Sadio Mane red card

The Football Association overturns the red card handed to Southampton attacker Sadio Mane in Saturday's Premier League match against Stoke City.

Southampton midfielder Sadio Mane will be free to face Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend after the Football Association overturned his red card against Stoke City.

Referee Lee Mason controversially sent the 23-year-old from the field in the latter stages of his team's 2-1 win on Saturday following a 50-50 clash with Potters defender Erik Pieters.

Southampton launched an appeal on Monday and the FA has upheld the wrongful dismissal claim, leaving Mane available to represent his team against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.

"An Independent Regulatory Commission has today upheld a wrongful dismissal claim in relation to Southampton's Sadio Mane. The forward, who was dismissed for serious foul play during the game against Stoke City on Saturday will therefore not serve any suspension," read an FA statement.

Southampton currently sit seventh in the Premier League table, just seven points off the top four.
