Sito: I Never Touched Him - Ipswich Town News
Vindicated Town full-back Sito says he didn't even touch Norwich striker Kevin Lisbie in the incident which saw referee Lee Mason wrongly red card him in Sunday's East Anglian derby. The Spaniard's dismissal was overturned by the FA on Tuesday.
Sito told the club site: "I am so happy that I have been cleared.
"It has been the worst week of my career, getting sent off in two games, and what made it even harder was that my family were over here to see me play.
"In the Norwich game I can honestly say that I didn't touch the player and I was really upset and angry that I was sent off. I couldn't understand why, but at least the appeal has turned out good for me."
Sito will now be able to take his place on the right of the defence when the Blues travel to Leeds on Saturday.
