defeat to Manchester United<\/a> on Boxing Day.<\/p>\nThe striker was shown a straight red after clashing with Michael Carrick in the first half at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
The successful appeal means 25-year-old Sammon is now available to face Stoke on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Manager Roberto Martinez said: “Conor did nothing wrong. You need to accept punishment when you do something wrong but this is a normal phase of play.”<\/p>\n
Wigan were losing 1-0 when Sammon was sent off by Phil Dowd for catching Carrick in the face with a flailing arm. The Latics were eventually beaten 5-0 by the Reds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
