Brentford has been successful in its appeal to get a red card overturned after midfielder Christian Norgaard was sent off against Everton in the Premier League this past weekend.

Brentford have won their appeal against the red card shown to Christian Nørgaard after the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Everton.

Brentford captain Christian Norgaard has avoided a three-match ban as the Bees successfully appealed against his red card in a 0-0 draw with Everton on 23 November.The Denmark international was sent off in the 41st minute at Goodison Park following a challenge on Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford while attempting to score in the six-yard box.

Brentford's Christian Norgaard had his red card in a 0-0 draw with Everton overturned by England's Football Association on Wednesday, meaning the Danish midfielder will not serve a three-match ban. Brentford were reduced to 10 men in the first half when Norgaard lunged at Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and was shown a red card after a Video Assistant Referee review.

‌Brentford's Christian Norgaard was sent off against Everton and I defy you to find a single top-level pro footballer who would agree with the referee's decision.

Referee Chris Kavanagh gave no foul but the Video Assistant Referee, Matt Donohue, recommended a red card and Norgaard has given his marching orders. Bees manager Thomas Frank after the game - which ended as a 0-0 draw at Goodison Park - confirmed the club would appeal the decision.
