Burnley's Egan-Riley red card appeal successful

Egan-Riley has played 32 Championship matches this season for Burnley

Burnley defender CJ Egan-Riley's red card in Tuesday's draw with West Brom has been rescinded upon appeal.

Egan-Riley was dismissed at full-time after a foul on Albion forward Will Lankshear after the game had ended, but a Football Association panel reviewed the incident on Thursday and overturned the red card.

Scott Parker was also sent off at the end of the game but told the press at his briefing on Thursday that he was backing Egan-Riley.

"It is a trip, a technical foul," Parker told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"It is a booking. I feel he's been harshly dealt with. It wasn't a brutal action, it was a trip. Players are on the knife edge and while the whistle had gone, I'm not sure CJ knew that."

Burnley travel to Swansea on Saturday for their next Championship match.
