Christian Nørgaard's Red Card Overturned After Successful Brentford Appeal

The Brentford captain is cleared to play after the FA ruled his dismissal against Everton was a wrongful decision.

  • Christian Nørgaard's red card from Brentford's match against Everton has been overturned by the Football Association.
  • The Danish midfielder was sent off in the 41st minute for serious foul play after a VAR review showed contact with Jordan Pickford's knee.
  • Brentford successfully appealed the decision, arguing Nørgaard's actions were unintentional and focused on attempting to reach the ball.
  • The overturned decision ensures Nørgaard will be available for Brentford's next three Premier League matches, avoiding a suspension.
