Gabriel: Arsenal defender wins appeal
against red card
Arsenal's appeal against defender Gabriel's
red card during Saturday's defeat by
Chelsea has been successful.
Gabriel, 24, was sent off by referee Mike
Dean for violent conduct after a clash with
Diego Costa during the Blues' 2-0 victory
at Stamford Bridge.
The successful appeal means he will now
not serve a three-match suspension.
The Brazilian is subject to a separate
Football Association charge of improper
conduct to which he has until 18:00 BST
on Thursday to respond.
That relates to him failing to leave the
pitch immediately after being sent off.
Chelsea striker Costa, meanwhile, was
charged with violent conduct following a
clash with Arsenal defender Laurent
Koscielny.
He has until 18:00 BST on Tuesday to
respond.
