  • Beckford: Has won his appeal against red card at Brighton

Leicester have been successful in their appeal against the red card that Jermaine Beckford received during the 1-0 defeat to Brighton.

Beckford was controversially sent off early in the second half of the npower Championship game at the Amex Stadium on Saturday.

After mistiming a challenge on Lewis Dunk down near the corner flag in the 53rd minute, Beckford tapped the Brighton defender on the back and exchanged words with him.

This led to the referee's assistant flagging furiously and the Foxes striker being shown a straight red card by referee Andy Woolmer, much to the disbelief of the Leicester players.

A statement on the Football Association's official website, thefa.com, read: "Leicester City's Jermaine Beckford has had his claim for wrongful dismissal upheld.

"As a result, the three-match suspension handed to him has been withdrawn with immediate effect."

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.
