Lewis-Skelly ban overturned after Arsenal appeal

Sporting Tribune

Arsenal defender, Myles Lewis-Skelly’s three-match ban – imposed for a red card at Wolves on Saturday has been overturned.

The Gunners appealed against the decision to send off the 18-year-old and an independent regulatory commission upheld their claim of wrongful dismissal, the Football Association confirmed.

Lewis-Skelly was shown a straight red card after fouling Matt Doherty, with referee Michael Oliver deeming it serious foul play.

Doherty was just outside the Wolves box as he mounted a counter-attack and the decision was initially upheld by the video assistant referee (VAR).
