However, West Ham were charged with failing to ensure players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion after the Spanish goalkeeper was shown the red card against Southampton in a 0-0 draw on Wednesday.

"His one-match suspension has been withdrawn with immediate effect," the English Football Association said in a statement after a wrongful dismissal appeal on Friday.

Adrian was sent off for handling the ball outside his area after losing control of a backpass when pressed by Saido Mane. His dismissal led to a melee between the two Premier League teams.
