Arsenal appeal versus Lewis-Skelly red card

Mikel Arteta’s side has submitted an appeal to have Myles Lewis-Skelly’s controversial red card overturned.

The defender received a red card during his team’s 1-0 victory vs. Wolverhampton in the past weekend.

Myles was sent off for catching Matt Doherty above the ankle with a late tackle to break up a counter-attack just outside the home-side box near the end of the 1^st half.

Michael Oliver was not called by the VAR Darren England to review his decision.

The Gunners defender is set to not be able to play in his side’s next 3 matches – EPL clash vs. Man City at Etihad at the end of the weekend, next week’s Carabao Cup ½ final 2^nd leg away from home against Newcastle, and a Premier League clash vs. Leicester in the middle of the next month.

After the clash vs. Wolves, Mikel Arteta shared that, according to him, Oliver made a mistake and that he doesn’t want to talk more about the situation because he is very mad.

Lewis-Skelly’s sent-off was also criticized by ex-officials and pundits.

PGMOL revealed police are investigating “threats and abuse” directed at the referee after the match.
