EPL: Arteta left fuming over Lewis-Skelly’s red card against Wolves

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has admitted he has been left “absolutely fuming” by referee Michael Oliver’s decision to send Myles Lewis-Skelly off during their Premier League win over Wolves.

Lewis-Skelly was sent off under controversial circumstances during Arsenal’s clash with Wolves.

The Molineux side attempted to break from a corner and Lewis-Skelly fouled Matt Doherty.

While the expectation would perhaps have been a yellow card, Michael Oliver instead brandished a red.

Lewis-Skelly headed down the tunnel and Arteta introduced Riccardo Calafiori in place of Ethan Nwaneri.

The Italian went on to score the winner, while Wolves were also reduced to 10 men in the second half as Joao Gomes was dismissed. Nevertheless, the Gunners boss was furious with the decision to dismiss the 18-year-old.

Arteta told Sky Sports: “It is that clear that I leave it to you guys. I am absolutely fuming but I leave it with you. Because it is that obvious. I don’t think my words are going to help.”

Asked if the Gunners would launch an appeal, he said: “That’s for the club to decide what the best decision is.

“I think it’s that obvious, maybe we don’t even need to.”

Arsenal return to action in midweek against Girona in the Champions League.

They then face Manchester City in a huge Premier League encounter.
