Evanilson’s ban OVERTURNED by FA after VAR check saw Bournemouth star handed red card for slipping into Man Utd ace

BOURNEMOUTH star Evanilson has had his ban overturned after he was sent off against Manchester United. The striker was sent off following a VAR review despite slipping before he collided with Noussair Mazraoui.
