Liverpool learn Alexis Mac Allister ban fate after red card appeal

The FA have confirmed that Alexis Mac Allister's straight red card during Liverpool's 3-1 win over Bournemouth on Saturday has been rescinded.

Mac Allister was given his marching orders in his home debut for the Reds - having joined from Brighton and Hove Albion during the summer transfer window - for a tackle that was deemed to be reckless and out of control on Scotland international Ryan Christie.

In the 57th minute of the Game, both Christie and Mac Allister went in for a bouncing ball with the former narrowly flicking the ball before the latter. Referee Craig Pawson decided the Liverpool midfielder had gone in too aggressively and surprisingly gave the World Cup winner his marching orders.

Liverpool appealed the decision in a bid to have the mandatory three-Game suspension overturned, and the FA have now confirmed that Mac Allister will not face a ban.

Debt ceiling breach could cut millions of jobs. Here's who would lose employment first

A debt default could cause nearly 8 million job cuts, Moody's Analytics said. As the U.S. hurtles closer to a default on its debt as early as next month, the economic consequences could prove devastating, especially for millions who stand to lose their jobs. Even a brief debt ceiling breach of about one week would slash 1.5 million jobs, raising the un employment rate from 3.4% to 5%, a Moody's Analytics report found in March. An extended breach of roughly two months would bring a massive wave of unemployment, cutting nearly 8 million jobs and pushing the unemployment rate to 7.8%, the report said. "​​The economic downturn that would ensue would be comparable to that suffered during the global financial crisis," Moody's Analytics warned of a prolonged debt ceiling breach. Failure to raise the debt ceiling would send financial markets into turmoil, raise interest rates at a moment when elevated borrowing costs already weigh on economic activity and all but en...
