Liverpool FC midfielder Alexis Mac Allister’s red card in Saturday’s 3-1 Premier League win over Bournemouth has been overturned following a successful appeal to the FA, the club said on Tuesday.
Mac Allister was shown a red card for a high tackle on Ryan Christie in the 58th minute. The sending off seemed harsh, with Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola saying after the match that it “did not look like a red card”.

“An independent Regulatory Commission has removed Alexis Mac Allister’s three-match suspension following a claim of wrongful dismissal,” the FA said in a statement.
Liverpool are fifth in the Premier League standings with four points from two games. They travel to face Newcastle United on Sunday.
Mac Allister reacted to the news of the decision being overturned by writing “Thank you” on his X (formerly known as Twitter) account.
