London - The Football Association Thursday upheld Newcastle defender Habib Beye's appeal against his sending off in Monday's 2-2 draw with Manchester City.
The Senegal international was sent off for a professional foul on Robinho, but replays showed he won the ball.
Beye will now be available for Saturday's Tyne-Wear derby against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
"I'm glad I can play against Sunderland because you enjoy playing in derbies - games like this are why you are a footballer.
"I'm very happy because I think it was a bad decision. But I can understand because he (referee Rob Styles) is human and when you are human, you can make mistakes.
"I got the ball and I could not believe it when he gave the penalty and the red card because I was sure I got the ball.
"You know as a defender when you have got the tackle. When I made that tackle, I was 100 per cent confident I could get the ball." (dpa)
