Sunderland have won their appeal over Wes Brown's red card against Manchester United.
Referee Roger East was roundly criticised on Saturday when he sent off the former Red Devils defender when his team-mate, John O'Shea, should have been punished instead.

It is understood that O'Shea attempted to correct the official but Brown was given his marching orders regardless for a foul on
Radamel Falcao, with Wayne Rooney converting the resulting penalty in a 2-0 win.

A statement from the Football Association on Monday read: "An Independent Regulatory Commission has today upheld a claim of wrongful dismissal in relation to Wes Brown.

The Sunderland defender was dismissed in the game against Manchester United on Saturday, February 28, for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity.

Therefore, his one-match suspension has been withdrawn with immediate effect." Professional Game Match Officials Limited had issued a statement following the game, claiming that
East believed Brown had also made contact with Falcao and that there was no case of mistaken identity , leading former Premier League referee Mark Halsey to label the
organisation "a laughing stock".
