Gabriel's red card overturned

Arsenal have won an appeal against Gabriel's sending-off at Chelsea.

The centre-back was dismissed for kicking out at Chelsea forward Diego Costa during Saturday's ill-tempered clash at Stamford Bridge.

However, the Football Association announced in a statement on Tuesday it has accepted Arsenal's challenge to the decision and withdrawn the three-match suspension.

Gabriel still faces a separate charge of improper conduct for his reaction after being shown the red card by referee Mike Dean.

Funny how the one the ref sees gets over turned and the one he didnt get a three match ban.

Its about time we either had tv for ALL decisions or get officials that can do the job properly.

How about cowardly thugs being kicked out of the game. The Ref and Linesman saw Costa rolling around waving a card. They obviously didn't see what happened because if they did Costa would've been sent off and Gabriel wouldn't have been.
