Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta admitted he was furious with referee Michael Oliver sending off Miles Lewis-Skelly. But said he would not appeal, while praising his team’s character in helping them edge past Wolves 1-0. In a
controversial incident in the 43rd minute, Lewis-Skelly clashed with Matt Doherty and Oliver was shown a straight red card. With VAR, under Darren England, confirming the decision.
Premier League media outlets cited the reasons for the Gunners’ youngster’s foul that warranted a red card. With former referee Mike Dean suggesting the decision was reasonable and understandable from the still image.
However, England legend Alan Shearer slammed it as one of the worst decisions he has ever seen. While former Tottenham star Tim Sherwood could not believe that Lewis-Skelly had been sent off.
“That was a very clear moment, so I will leave it to you to decide,” Arteta said after the victory. That keeps us six points behind leaders Liverpool.
“It makes me really angry but I don’t think my words are going to change anything.”
