Liverpool Cancels Red Card Issued to Mac Allister

Liverpool, competing in the English Premier League, announced today, Tuesday, the cancellation of the red card received by midfielder Alexis Mac Allister during the 3-1 victory over Bournemouth following a successful appeal to the Football Association. Mac Allister received the red card for a strong challenge on Ryan Christie in the 58th minute. The dismissal seemed harsh, as Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola stated after the match that "the foul does not seem to warrant a red card." The FA stated in a statement, "An independent disciplinary committee has overturned the three-match suspension for Alexis Mac Allister after claims of a wrongful dismissal." Liverpool is currently in fifth place in the Premier League with four points from two matches.
