Damien Delaney red card rescinded by FA panel

Ipswich's Damien Delaney has avoided a ban after the Football Association overturned the red card shown during Saturday's 1-0 win over Scunthorpe.

The Republic of Ireland defender was dismissed for a foul on Jonathan Forte which was deemed as serious foul play by referee Pat Miller.

An FA disciplinary panel viewed video evidence of the offence and decided Delaney's sending off was unjustified.

The decision means the 28-year-old has escaped a three-match ban.
