Myles Lewis-Skelly Escapes Suspension as Arsenal Win Red Card Appeal

Share:

Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly’s red card against Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend has been overturned following a successful appeal.

The 18-year-old was shown a straight red card by referee Michael Oliver during Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Wolves after bringing down Matt Doherty in his own half and was due to serve a three-match suspension.

However, that will no longer happen as the Gunners won their appeal, with the Football Association confirming that an independent regulatory commission had “upheld the claim of wrongful dismissal” and removed his three-match ban.

Arsenal appealed on Tuesday afternoon and were informed within hours that it had been successful.

A statement from the Football Association read: “An independent Regulatory Commission has upheld a claim of wrongful dismissal in relation to Myles Lewis-Skelly and removed his three-match suspension.”
