Big boost for Liverpool! Alexis Mac Allister sees three-match suspension overturned following controversial Bournemouth red card
Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has seen his three-match suspension overturned following his red card dismissal against Bournemouth.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: But after appealing to the FA earlier this week, Mac Allister's three-game suspension has since been overturned, with the Argentine international now fit to face Newcastle United in the Reds next Premier League encounter on Sunday evening.
WHAT THEY SAID?: ''An independent Regulatory Commission has removed Alexis Mac Allister’s three-match suspension following a claim of wrongful dismissal. The Liverpool midfielder was sent off for serious foul play during their Premier League game against Bournemouth on Saturday, 19 August.''
