Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly was controversially sent off by referee Michael Oliver against Wolves.

The young defender was shown a straight red card after a foul outside the Wolves box.

The decision to send off the Arsenal star was heavily criticised by the fans as at first it appeared that the defender was sent off for stopping Wolves from launching a counter attack against Mikel Arteta’s side.

However, a new angle of the challenge from the Gunners star shows that the defender went into the challenge with his studs up and he was sent off by referee Oliver because of the tackle being considered dangerous.

While Arsenal fans may argue that the decision was a wrong one, as most fans would do when it concerns their team, the video posted on X below shows that Oliver perhaps made the right decision to show the defender his marching orders.

It would be interesting to see what Arteta makes of the challenge by his defender. The Gunners have received four red cards this season, most by a Premier League.

In the end, both the teams were down to ten men when Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes was shown a second yellow for a similar challenge in the second half.

Arteta’s side ended up winning the match thanks to a goal from Riccardo Calafiori which helped them keep up the pace in the Premier League title race.

Their title rivals Liverpool won 4-1 at Anfield against Ipswich Town and they remain the favourites to win the league title at the moment.

Arteta would be hoping for a slip from Arne Slot’s team in the coming week so that they can close the gap at the top of the league table.

  1. sorry your feet must be deformed if you think that is studs up. the side of his boot catches the players shin initially. if the wolves player made a similar challenge why wasn’t that a red?

  2. It is another day of frustration from the referee and VAR which I know the ex referee Gallagher will come on line again to tell us his baldadash as he always do because the referees are next to God they don’t make mistakes but whatever happened it is oblivious clear that the referees and VAR had conspired to make sure that Arsenal do not win the premiership if such of foul happened to another club they will tell us Why it wasn’t a foul but to Arsenal it’s a foul Arsenal have cuts their bets today because they the referees beted it as draw but they have fail it’s like people never understand that the referees go into gamble that are the more reason they always manipulate results Gallagher over to you it is the high time ex footballers go unto referees and flush all the novice out cause they don’t know anything about football they are like the Nigerian pastors many of them fail in their various businesses and the easiest way to make a living is to dabbled in theological schools to became pastors
