Bournemouth forward Evanilson’s three-match ban for the red card he received last Sunday has been removed by the Football Association (FA) following a successful appeal.
The striker was sent off in the 70th minute of Sunday’s 1-1 home draw with Manchester United in the Premier League.
The Brazil international appeared to slip while attempting to tackle United defender Noussair Mazraoui. He was initially shown a yellow card by referee Peter Bankes, but after being sent to the monitor for an on-field review by the video assistant referee (VAR), the booking was upgraded to a straight red card and a three-match ban.

Following Evanilson’s red card, United went on to score an equaliser in stoppage time to salvage a draw and dent Bournemouth’s hopes of European football next season.
Evanilson, 25, will now be available for Bournemouth’s trip to the Emirates to face Arsenal on Saturday.

This is not the first time a refereeing decision has been overturned in the Premier League this season.
Arsenal won their appeal against the red card issued to Myles Lewis-Skelly during their 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on January 25.
A Premier League key match incidents panel later voted 3-2 that a second booking shown to Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White during a draw with Brighton & Hove Albion on September 22 was not justified and that Gibbs-White should not have been sent off.
Brentford’s Christian Norgard had the red card he was shown during a goalless draw with Everton on November 23 overturned, with the midfielder therefore avoiding a three-game suspension.
Also, the body that oversees Premier League referees (PGMOL) admitted a mistake was made during the Merseyside Derby on April 2, accepting that Everton defender James Tarkowski should have been sent off for his challenge on Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister.
