Kouyate was dismissed by referee Jon Moss for bringing down Rovers defender
Adam Henley in the 75th minute of West Ham's 5-1 FA Cup win at Ewood Park.
But the Hammers appealed against the decision, contesting that the ball had run
a long way in front of Henley and was not therefore presenting an obvious
goalscoring opportunity.
The Football Association on Tuesday agreed with the appeal, meaning Kouyate
will not serve a suspension and will be able to face Sunderland at Upton Park on
Saturday.
