| MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY SAW RED AGAINST WOLVES MIKE EGERTON/PA WIRE |
The Premier League have explained the decision to show Myles Lewis-Skelly a straight red card in Arsenal’s match against Wolves.
The left-back was dismissed before half-time at Molineux in controversial fashion, after stopping a Wolves counter.
As the hosts looked to break after clearing an Arsenal corner, Lewis-Skelly came across and tripped Matt Doherty to stop the attack.
Referee Michael Oliver surprisingly showed a red card to the 18-year-old and that decision was then confirmed after a VAR check.
The Premier League Match Centre account on X posted: “The referee’s call of a red card for Lewis-Skelly was checked and confirmed by VAR, who deemed his challenge to have been serious foul play.”
