LONDON (Reuters) - West Ham United midfielder Tomas Soucek's red card in Saturday's goalless Premier League draw at Fulham has been overturned following an appeal to the FA, the club said on Monday.

Soucek was sent off in stoppage time when he appeared to accidentally elbow Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic in the face, with referee Mike Dean issuing a red card after looking at the incident on the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) monitor.
