Kabasele successful in red card appeal
Christian Kabasele has won his appeal against the red card he was shown for a challenge on Dele Alli in the League Cup on Wednesday night.
Christian Kabasele has won his appeal against the red card he was shown for a challenge on Dele Alli in the League Cup on Wednesday night.
The red card has been rescinded and Kabasele will be available for selection as Javi Gracia prepares his Watford team for the trip to Arsenal on Saturday.
Kabasele fouled Dele Alli inside the box just four minutes after coming on as a substitute in the Carabao Cup and was told to leave the field by the referee.
This then saw Watford concede two goals in five minutes before equalising in injury time, though they were beaten on penalties in the end.
The FA have released a statement on the decision: "Christian Kabasele's one-match suspension has been withdrawn with immediate effect after his wrongful dismissal claim was upheld.
"The Watford player had been sent off for denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday."
