Christian Norgaard will be available for Brentford’s next three games after a successful appeal against red card versus Everton. The Danish midfielder was shown a straight red in the 41st minute of the Bees’ goalless draw at Goodison Park last Saturday after catching Pickford high on his leg when trying to find the next inside the six-yard box.

Brentford has been successful in its appeal to get a red card overturned after midfielder Christian Norgaard was sent off against Everton in the Premier League this past weekend.

Brentford captain Christian Norgaard has avoided a three-match ban as the Bees successfully appealed against his red card in a 0-0 draw with Everton on 23 November. The Denmark international was sent off in the 41st minute at Goodison Park following a challenge on Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford while attempting to score in the six-yard box.

Brentford's Christian Norgaard had his red card in a 0-0 draw with Everton overturned by England's Football Association on Wednesday, meaning the Danish midfielder will not serve a three-match ban. Brentford were reduced to 10 men in the first half when Norgaard lunged at Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and was shown a red card after a Video Assistant Referee review.

The red card shown to Brentford captain Christian Norgaard during Saturday's 0-0 draw with Everton has been overturned, with the midfielder therefore avoiding a three-game suspension. Norgaard was sent off after VAR sent referee Chris Kavanagh to the pitchside monitor to review a knee-high contact made on Jordan Pickford while challenging for a loose ball.

Referee Chris Kavanagh gave no foul but the Video Assistant Referee, Matt Donohue, recommended a red card and Norgaard has given his marching orders. Bees manager Thomas Frank after the game - which ended as a 0-0 draw at Goodison Park - confirmed the club would appeal the decision.
