Brentford has been successful in its appeal to get a red card overturned after midfielder Christian Norgaard was sent off against Everton in the Premier League this past weekend.

Everton were booed off by their own fans after they were deservedly held to a 0-0 draw by Brentford, who played more than half of the game with 10 players.

Brentford captain Christian Norgaard has avoided a three-match ban as the Bees successfully appealed against his red card in a 0-0 draw with Everton on 23 November. The Denmark international was sent off in the 41st minute at Goodison Park following a challenge on Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford while attempting to score in the six-yard box.

Brentford's Christian Norgaard had his red card in a 0-0 draw with Everton overturned by England's Football Association on Wednesday, meaning the Danish midfielder will not serve a three-match ban. Brentford were reduced to 10 men in the first half when Norgaard lunged at Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and was shown a red card after a Video Assistant Referee review.
