Lamps Red Card Ruled Out

Lampard was shown the straight red card for violent conduct but the decision was appealed against by Chelsea and a ruling in favor of the England midfielder was made this afternoon.

A small statement on the FA's website reads, "At a Regulatory Commission hearing today, a claim for wrongful dismissal from Chelsea's Frank Lampard was upheld.

"As a result, Lampard's three match suspension has been withdrawn.

"Lampard was sent off for violent conduct during Chelsea's game against West Ham on Saturday 1 March."
