Quote:
A Football Association panel decided that referee Andre Marriner not only dismissed the wrong player, but that Oxlade-Chamberlain's goal-line handball did not deserve a red card. Neither player will serve any ban following the incident.
Marriner will referee Southampton's home game with Newcastle on Saturday. Refereeing officials felt that the 43-year-old, who apologised for mixing up the players' identities, should be given the chance to get over his mistake immediately, rather than being stood down for the weekend. All four officials who were involved at Stamford Bridge will officiate in matches this weekend.
