Lampard scored Chelsea' opening goal against West Ham before getting sent off (c)
FRANK Lampard has had the red card he picked up in Saturday's encounter with West Ham rescinded.
The ex-Hammer was sent off in the first half for appearing to push Luis Boa Morte, although it did not stop the Blues from running out 4-0 victors on the day.
However, the Football Association received a request from Chelsea to have the red card and subsequent three-match ban removed, which was upheld.
The 29-year-old - who scored Chelsea's opening goal from the penalty spot against the Irons - is now avaliable for the Blues' FA Cup quarter-final clash with Barnsley on Saturday.
