Bournemouth´s Evanilson has Man Utd red card overturned

Bournemouth will have Evanilson available for their Premier League clash with Arsenal after successfully appealing against his red card in their 1-1 draw with Manchester United.

Evanilson was initially given a yellow card by referee Peter Bankes following a tackle on Noussair Mazraoui, with the Brazilian appearing to slip when closing down the defender.

But after Bankes was sent to the monitor for an on-field review, the yellow was upgraded to a red card, leaving Andoni Iraola’s side down to 10 men for the final 20 minutes.

Rasmus Hojlund netted an injury-time leveller to seal a share of the spoils at the Vitality Stadium, denting Bournemouth’s hopes of sealing European football next year.

“An independent regulatory commission has removed Evanilson’s three-match ban following a successful claim of wrongful dismissal,” read a Football Association statement.

We can confirm that Evanilson has had his red card from Sunday rescinded.

The Cherries are 10th in the Premier League table with four games of their season remaining, a point behind eighth-placed Fulham in the race for Europe.

A top eight 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.

But Bournemouth will have new hope of ending their season on a high now that they have Evanilson available for the rest of the campaign.

The 25-year-old has been involved in six goals in his last nine league starts for Bournemouth (five goals, one assist).
