Newcastle United have won their appeal against Fabricio Coloccini's red card in Sunday's 3-0 defeat by Sunderland.

The 33-year-old defender was sent off for a challenge on Steven Fletcher which resulted in a penalty.

However, the Football Association has charged Newcastle with "failing to control their players in relation to their reaction" to the decision.

"An Independent Regulatory Commission found that the match referee had made an obvious error in dismissing the Newcastle United defender for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity," said an FA statement.
