Dartford midfielder Jacob Berkeley-Agyepong has had his red card overturned by the FA.

Berkeley-Agyepong was shown a red card 10 minutes from time in last Saturday's 2-0 home win over Slough by referee Greg Rollason.

But the FA's disciplinary department have upheld Dartford's appeal and the 22-year-old will not serve a suspension, which means he is available for this weekend's trip to Hungerford.

"It was shocking," said King. "If anything, it could have been a foul the other way.

"Jacob hasn't got a tackle in him, he is normally the one that gets fouled by people."
