The red card handed to Tottenham defender Danny Rose for a foul on Edin Dzeko has been overturned, the Football Association has announced.<\/p>\n
Rose was given a straight red for a tackle on Dzeko inside the home penalty box during Tottenham’s 5-1 defeat to Manchester City at White Hart Lane on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Replays showed Rose clearly made contact with the ball, but a penalty was awarded by referee Andre Marriner after his assistant Scott Ledger flagged for a foul.<\/p>\n
After studying replays of the incident, which happened when City were 1-0 up, the FA has decided to rescind the red card.<\/p>\n
That means Rose will be available to play in Spurs’ away game at Hull on Saturday.<\/p>\n
An FA statement read: ‘Danny Rose’s one-match suspension has been withdrawn with immediate effect after the Tottenham player’s wrongful dismissal claim was upheld by an Independent Regulatory Commission.<\/p>\n
