Man United's Fernandes has red card ban overturned

Fernandes, sent off for a dangerous tackle on James Maddison, was set to be suspended for the Premier League games against Aston Villa, Brentford and West Ham.

The Portugal international was shown a straight red in the 42nd minute against Spurs, with United going on to lose 3-0.

"Nobody wants to be sent off, it's not a good feeling," Fernandes said. "I didn't go with the studs. It's never a red card. Even James Maddison when he gets up he said it's not a red card."

Fernandes appeared to slip when attempting a tackle in Tottenham's half — but then raised his foot and caught Maddison on the shin in a studs-up challenge.

Referee Christopher Kavanagh immediately brandished a red card.
