‘Ironically the ref gets this right’

Evanilson’s suspension has been rescinded after Bournemouth successfully appealed against his red card in their 1-1 Premier League draw with Manchester United on Sunday.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.
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,” read a Football Association statement.
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.
