Purse pleased to get final green light

Cardiff defender Darren Purse insists the Football Association of Wales’ decision to overturn his red card was the “correct” one after his FA Cup final dreams were revived.

Purse was given a straight red card late on in Saturday’s 3-3 draw at Burnley for a challenge which led to Clarets striker Andy Cole, who needed 10 stitches in a leg wound, describing him as a “muppet”.
