Arsenal appeal against Myles Lewis-Skelly red card in Wolves game
Arsenal have submitted an appeal to have Myles Lewis-Skelly’s controversial red card overturned.
The defender was sent off during his side’s 1-0 win against Wolves on Saturday.
Lewis-Skelly was dismissed for catching Matt Doherty above the ankle with a late tackle to break up a counter-attack just outside the Wolves box in the 43rd minute.
The decision by referee Michael Oliver was upheld by video assistant referee (VAR) Darren England.
Lewis-Skelly is set to miss Arsenal’s next three games – a Premier League home match against Manchester City on Sunday, next week’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at Newcastle and a league fixture against Leicester on 15 February.
The Football Association has been approached for comment.
