West Bromwich Albion's Jay Rodriguez has had his red card against Sheffield Wednesday overturned, meaning he will avoid a three-game suspension.

Rodriquez was sent off by referee Andy Davies in the 63rd minute of the 1-1 draw at The Hawthorns on Saturday following an incident with Marco Matias.

However, West Brom appealed the decision and their claim of wrongful dismissal has been upheld an independent regulatory commission.
