Evanilson's Red Card Appeal Success Shakes Up Premier League
Bournemouth's Evanilson's red card overturned on appeal.


Evanilson's suspension has been rescinded after Bournemouth successfully appealed against his red card in their 1-1 Premier League draw with Manchester United on Sunday. The striker was initially given a yellow card for a challenge on Noussair Mazraoui, but it was upgraded following a video assistant referee (VAR) review. However, Evanilson appeared to slip as he closed down the United defender. The red card would have meant a three-match ban, but the Brazilian is now available to face Arsenal on Saturday. An independent regulatory commission has removed Evanilson's three-match ban following a successful claim of wrongful dismissal. Bournemouth are 10th in the table with four games remaining. An eighth-place finish would secure a spot in next season's Europa Conference League if Crystal Palace do not beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
