Image: Andy Butler: Will not serve three-match ban

Walsall have won their appeal against captain Andy Butler's 20th minute red card in the 1-1 draw against Leyton Orient on Saturday.

The central defender was dismissed inside the opening 20 minutes as the Saddlers defied the odds and a numerical disadvantage to end the Orient's 100% start with a stalemate. Butler was facing a three-match ban for his challenge on Romain Vincelot but the FA has overturned the decision meaning he can feature this weekend against Bradford.
