Burnley's Duff appeal upheld

06 May 2015 03:47

Michael Duff is free to play in Burnley's relegation six-pointer at Hull on Saturday after the Football Association rescinded the red card he received against West Ham.

Duff was sent off for tripping Cheikhou Kouyate in the penalty area during Burnley's 1-0 defeat at Upton Park last Saturday.

Referee Jonathan Moss issued a straight red to Duff as he thought West Ham had been denied a clear goal-scoring opportunity, but there was cover for the Clarets in the box.

The FA confirmed in a statement that the red card had been overturned.
