The FA has confirmed that Shaun Wright-Phillips will not serve a ban following the Manchester City player's sending-off in Saturday's 3-1 Premiership win over Everton.

Wright-Phillips was dismissed by referee Barry Knight after conceding the penalty from which Everton scored their goal.

Knight stated in his match report that the offence for which Wright-Phillips was sent off warranted only a caution and the player's red card has been rescinded, being replaced with a yellow.

A statement on the FA website, www.thefa.com, read: "We can confirm that Shaun Wright-Phillips will not serve a suspension for his sending-off against Everton on Saturday.

"In his match report, referee Barry Knight stated that the foul was a cautionable offence rather than a sending off offence.

"Therefore, a caution will be recorded against him but the player will not serve a suspension."
