Arsenal have appealed against the red card issued to Myles Lewis-Skelly during their 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday. The 18-year-old was shown a straight red card for ‘serious foul play’ by referee Michael Oliver in the 43rd minute of the game after a challenge on Wolves defender Matt Doherty.

Arsenal have been successful in their appeal against Myles Lewis-Skelly’s straight red card in Saturday’s Premier League game at Wolves. Teenage midfielder Lewis-Skelly was sent off for serious foul play after bringing down Matt Doherty shortly before half-time and referee Michael Oliver’s decision was ratified by VAR.

The ball fell to Wolves full-back Doherty, who took it in his stride as his team-mates ran forward. But Doherty was then caught by Lewis-Skelly’s outstretched right leg, going down about 10 yards outside of Wolves’ box.
