Birmingham midfielder Aliou Cisse has had his sending-off rescinded by referee Mike Riley following his dismissal at Arsenal on Sunday.

The Senegal captain was ordered off for a second bookable offence at Highbury following a challenge on Ashley Cole.

But after reviewing video evidence Riley has decided Cisse’s challenge did not warrant a yellow card.
