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.
