ALEXIS MAC ALLISTER'S red card has been OVERTURNED, meaning he has avoided a three-match suspension.<\/p>\n
The Liverpool midfielder, 24, was sent off for serious foul play on Saturday after a challenge on Bournemouth's Ryan Christie in the second half of the Reds' 3-1 win at Anfield.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Jurgen Klopp's men appealed referee Thomas Bramall's decision.<\/p>\n
And the FA have now confirmed the "wrongful dismissal" claim has been successful.<\/p>\n
An FA statement read: "An independent Regulatory Commission has removed Alexis Mac Allister's three-match suspension following a claim of wrongful dismissal."<\/p>\n
Mac Allister will now be available for games against Newcastle, Aston Villa and Wolves.<\/p>\n

Liverpool boss Klopp vehemently disagreed with the dismissal immediately after the game.<\/p>\n
He said: "It's harsh, this shouldn't have been a red card.<\/p>\n
"It's a mistake and the punishment of playing 40 minutes with 10 men is already punishment enough. We have to talk to the authorities.<\/p>\n
"There was contact but there is contact in a game all the time. If he gives a yellow card nobody would say, 'by the way you need to have another look at that'.<\/p>\n

If we have a list of points of what you need to give a red card, besides contact there's no other box ticked."<\/p>\n Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer agreed with Klopp, adding: "I think this is a terrible decision, I think this is an awful decision.<\/p>\n "There\u2019s no force at all, I know [Mac Allister is] slightly high but he\u2019s not going in with great force or great power to do [Ryan Christie].<\/p>\n "For [Mac Allister] now to miss three games because of that, then I think that\u2019s extremely harsh.<\/p>\n "I didn\u2019t think it was a red card at all and I was really surprised it wasn\u2019t overturned or [the referee] was at least told to go to the screen \u2013 very, very harsh."<\/p>\n Liverpool have kicked off their Premier League campaign with four points from six, adding a win over Bournemouth to their 1-1 draw with Chelsea.<\/p>\nMan City boss Pep Guardiola has emergency surgery & will miss next two matches<\/h3>\n<\/section>\n
