Referee Mark Halsey made no hesitation in ordering Chelsea and England captain to leave the field of play after John Terry pulled Manchester City striker Jo to the ground.
Terry would have faced a three game suspension, meaning that he would have to watch on while his Blues face Manchester United this weekend, but the FA have overturned the ban insisting Halsey was wrong in showing red.
Luiz Felipe Scolari and Stamford Bridge chiefs lodged an appeal with the FA after the match and the FA announced that the 27-year old's ban has officially been void.
An FA statement said: "At an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today, a claim for wrongful dismissal from Chelsea's John Terry was upheld... Terry was shown a red card for serious foul play during Chelsea's match against Manchester City on 13 September."
"As a result of today's hearing, Terry's three match suspension has been withdrawn," it concluded.
