The striker was facing a three-game ban after being dismissed for a challenge on Palace defender Nathaniel Clyne during the goalless draw at Selhurst Park last Friday (AEDT).

Referee Chris Kavanagh initially took no action after contact with Clyne appeared minimal but later sent the 26-year-old off after a VAR review.

Everton announced its intention to appeal against the decision the next day and that challenge has proved successful.

The red card would have been the first of Calvert-Lewin’s career had it stood.

Everton manager Sean Dyche said after the incident that he remained “a fan” of VAR but it was “beginning to test my patience”.
