The two Arsenal players at the centre of the weekend's wrong red card have escaped any punishment from the Football Association.

The FA has agreed that Kieran Gibbs was the victim of mistaken identity, and should not have been sent off by Andre Marriner in their defeat to Chelsea.

His red card was transferred to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, whose handball led to a penalty.

Arsenal subsequently appealed that dismissal, and an independent commission has upheld that claim, confirming that it did not warrant a red card.

Both players are available for tomorrow's match against Swansea.
