Stoke midfielder Cameron has red card thrown out

Stoke City have won their appeal against Geoff Cameron's red card.

The midfielder was sent off for pushing Claudio Yacob in the back late in the Potters' 2-1 loss to West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns on Saturday.

USA international Cameron was facing a three-match ban for the incident but Stoke opted to appeal the suspension which has been successful, allowing the 30-year-old to take his place in Mark Hughes' line-up for the first leg of the Capital One Cup semi-final with Liverpool on Tuesday.

The FA said in a statement: "An Independent Regulatory Commission found that the match referee had made an obvious error in dismissing the Stoke City player for violent conduct during the game against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday."
