Taggart has red card overturned

Last updated : 09 August 2005 By Rob Stanway

Taggart was due a 3 match ban starting tonight, but that is no longer necessary after the FA panel reviewed the footage.

Clattenburg gave Taggart a straight red card after a late challenge on Leon Best that looked hard, but more worthy of a yellow card than the referee's over-reaction.

Johan Boskamp said: "This is great news and a great boost for us ahead of tonight's game. Gerry's a big figure in the dressing room and his experience will be needed at Leicester.

"We always felt the decision was harsh, that's why we appealed, and we feel the correct decision has been made."
