The red card of Myles Lewis-Skelly in a 1-0 victory in Wolves on Saturday was abolished in the appeal.
The Arsenal defender was discharged in the first half after overthrowing Matt Doherty while the former Tottenham man threw out from his own area.
Referee Michael Oliver thought the challenge was a serious game, with Var Darren England, she decided not to intervene and send an official on the field on a monitor at a second look.

Arsenal chief Mikel Arteta said he “crackled” afterwards, although his mood would be even darker if the visitors did not abolish a well -deserved victory thanks to the goal of Riccard Calafiori against Wolves’ side, also up to 10 men, at that moment after the release of Joa Gomes.
Arththa was convinced that the red card would be canceled, and the confirmation came this afternoon from the Football Federation.
This means that the Lewis-Skelly suspension suspension no longer applies and he is able to play in a game with Manchester City over the weekend.
Today it was announced that Oliver was supposed to serve the game at the Emirates, but was removed from the fixture and instead assigned to Ipswich against Southampton.
Newcastle official has come for grave criticisms for his appearance in Molineux, and BBC Pundit Alan Shearer indicates the decision “one of the worst I have seen for a long time.”
Former English captain said: “As a judge you can go wrong on the field, you may see something incorrect.
“How, on Earth, Darren England, Var, thinks the judge had that right and there is no need to send him to the screen.
“One of the worst decisions I’ve seen in a long time.
I just can’t see and elaborate what Var thinks going along with Michael Oliver’s decision.
“No wonder many people criticize him.”
Oliver was also subjected to abuse and threats on social media, which led to the welcomed PGMOL judicial body to betray the statement.

“We were amazed at the threats and abuse of directed towards Michael Oliver after Wolverhampton Wanderers V Arsenal of the fixture. No clerk should be subject to any form of abuse, let alone a gnus attack intended for Michael and his family in the last 24 hours.
“The police are aware and has started a series of investigations. We support Michael and all those affected and are determined to deal with this unacceptable behavior. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that the match official has been forced to deal with threats lately.”
Despite the weekend, Oliver is still considered to be one of the best officials of the Premier League and tomorrow night will take over the Champions League midfielder between Barcelona and Atalanta.
