Lucas Digne has demoted his three-match suspension to one
Lucas Dinge, defender of Everton, demoted his three-match suspension to only one through a separate disciplinary panel.
The left-back was given a send off because of a challenge on Southampton’s Kyle Walker-Peters during the 2-0 loss at St Mary’s on Sunday.
The
red cardhas not been declared null and void, however Digne will now only serve a one-match ban.
“An independent regulatory commission has upheld a claim of clearly excessive punishment in relation to Everton FC’s Lucas Digne,” stated by a Football Association statement.
“The defender was sent off for serious foul play during a Premier League fixture against
Southampton FC
on Sunday 25 October 2020 and would have been suspended for three fixtures.”
“However, the independent regulatory commission has withdrawn his original suspension and applied a one-match suspension instead.”
Actually, he was shown a
red card
by referee Kevin Friend in the 72nd minute on Sunday.
“The red card was a joke. It was not intentional. Maybe it could be a yellow but for sure it was not violent conduct. They could check better.”
