The yellow card issued to James Tarkowski in Brentford’s Sky Bet League One match against Carlisle United on Saturday has been given to Nico Yennaris.
The central defender was shown a yellow card by referee Michael Naylor inside the last 15 minutes of the 0-0 draw at Brunton Park.
The official had let play go on after an offence had been committed and then booked James Tarkowski.
The offence had in fact been committed by Nico Yennaris and Mr Naylor booked the wrong player.
The Club submitted video evidence to the Football Association as part of a mistaken identity appeal and the card has been transferred to Nico Yennaris.
It is his first caution of the season while James Tarkowski remains on seven cautions.
