On-loan Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton successfully avoided a red card.
Morton is currently spending the season at Hull City and is in good form there.
The Reds academy product scored two goals and provided three assists in 20 appearances as the Tigers finished top of the Championship play-offs by a point.
His impressive performances earned him a place in the England Under-21 squad. However, Morton was controversially sent off in Hull’s 3-1 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday on New Year’s Day.
The match ended goalless on Wednesday when the 21-year-old was given his marching orders in the 35th minute after appearing to pose a fair challenge on Jadi Gassama. Liam Rosenior’s team decided to appeal the decision. And the FA’s independent disciplinary panel ruled the dismissal was illegal.
It means Morton will play in Hull’s FA Cup third round tie against Birmingham City tomorrow without serving his three-match ban.”Hull City’s Tyler Morton has successfully appealed against unfair dismissal and will be able to play in the next three games,” the FA said in a statement.
The midfielder was sent off for foul play during the Premier League match against Sheffield Wednesday on Monday, January 1, 2024.
After Morton’s Champions League debut in Liverpool’s 2-1 win over AC Milan at the San Siro in December 2021, manager Jurgen Klopp said: . “He’s got a great football brain. If he goes to the gym and gets in shape, he’s going to be a football player!”
