Stoke veteran wins appeal against sending off at Crawley
Rory Delap has won his appeal against the red card he received during Stoke's FA Cup win over Crawley Town on Sunday.
Delap was dismissed in the first half for a sliding challenge on Crawley midfielder David Hunt, although his side still went on to claim a 2-0 win over the League Two outfit.
Potters boss Tony Pulis expressed his frustration at the dismissal and the club quickly decided to appeal, leading the Football Association to rescind the red card.
"Stoke City's Rory Delap has had his claim for wrongful dismissal upheld. As a result, the three-match suspension handed to him has been withdrawn with immediate effect," an FA statement read.
