FA rescinds red card shown to Swansea City defender Kyle Naughton

The Football Association has confirmed that Swansea City full-back Kyle Naughton's has had his red card from Wednesday night's Premier League defeat to Sunderland rescinded.

Naughton was shown a straight red in the first half by stand-in referee Graham Scott for a tackle on Yann M'Vila before Sunderland went on to win 4-2.

As the foul was deemed serious foul play at the time, Naughton was initially given a three-match ban, but the FA has overturned the decision so the defender can now feature on Monday night against Watford.

The defeat to Sunderland means that Swansea are only a point above 19th-placed Newcastle United after 21 games of the season.
