Southampton have succeeded in their appeal against Jan Bednarek’s suspension following his contentious red card in Tuesday night’s 9-0 defeat to Manchester United.
The defender was shown a straight red card for fouling Anthony Martial in the penalty area following a VAR review that involved match referee Mike Dean watching several replays.
Southampton appealed to the Football Association, who have upheld their claim of wrongful dismissal, meaning Bednarek will be available for their upcoming games, including Saturday's trip to Newcastle United.

So, FA agrees that it was wrongful dismissal. The Refree and VAR officials should face a 10 game ban and should forever be stopped from officiating crucial matches that has implications in Title race or Relegation battle. There is a reason why not many English officials get the chance in FIFA tournaments.
