Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly’s three-match ban – imposed for a red card at Wolves on Saturday – has been overturned.<\/b><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

Doherty was just outside the Wolves box as he mounted a counter-attack in the 43rd minute. The decision was initially upheld by Darren England, who was the video assistant referee (VAR).<\/p>\n

Wolves later went down to 10 men after Joao Gomes’ second yellow on 70 minutes, before Riccardo Calafiori’s 74th-minute strike gave Arsenal a 1-0 win.<\/p>\n

After Saturday’s game, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta told BBC Match of the Day the decision was “so obvious that today you don’t need my words”.<\/p>\n

“I am absolutely fuming but I leave it with you,” he said to Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

“Because it is that obvious, I don’t think my words are going to help.”<\/p>\n

Police have since been investigating “threats and abuse” directed at referee Oliver, said referees’ body PGMOL.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lewis-Skelly caught Doherty’s shin and then foot, and Oliver quickly showed a red card, with VAR deciding against sending the referee to the pitchside monitor.<\/p>\n

On the Premier League’s website it says high, full and forceful contact on the ankle or above is “considered dangerous” and a “red card”.<\/p>\n

Alan Shearer, the competition’s record goalscorer, said the sending off was “one of the worst decisions I’ve seen in a long time”.<\/p>\n

“As a referee you can get it wrong on the pitch, you might see something which is incorrect,” he told BBC Radio 5 Live.<\/p>\n

Arsenal substitute Calafiori told Sky Sports that “from the bench, it was clearly not a red card”.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a news conference just after the commission’s decision was announced, Arteta said: “[I’m] obviously really happy that the decision has been made and Myles is going to be available for us.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Former Newcastle and England striker Alan Shearer on BBC Match of the Day:<\/b> “It should have been a yellow card, it is a terrible decision. There was no speed, no intensity, it was not endangering an opponent and was 90 yards from goal, so never, ever a red card.<\/p>\n

“What worries me is there is an assistant VAR and a VAR who have seen several replays and they think it is serious foul play.”<\/p>\n

Former Premier League referee Mike Dean on Sky Sports<\/b>: “When you see a still image, you understand what he has done. He has put his studs down his leg for serious foul play. Scraped down the Achilles.”<\/p>\n

Former Chelsea and Scotland winger Pat Nevin<\/b>: “Myles Lewis-Skelly is only 10 yards outside the opposition’s box. It must be for violent conduct, but that doesn’t look like violent conduct. It’s a cynical trip. I have never seen that in my life. I am stunned by a red card.”<\/p>\n

Former Manchester City centre-back Nedum Onuoha<\/b>: “It’s definitely not a red card for me. I can see now with more replays why it is the right thing to do. Maybe the referee sees that Myles Lewis-Skelly has no intent to play the ball. It’s a tough moment for Arsenal. For the youngster, I think he needs to understand there are different ways to do that.<\/p>\n

“That’s not a red. That will get overturned very quickly. He tries to stop the counter-attack and it doesn’t look very bad to me.”<\/p>\n

BBC Radio 5 Live presenter Mark Chapman<\/b>: “Baffling and nonsensical.”<\/p>\n

Former Blackburn and Tottenham midfielder Tim Sherwood on Sky Sports<\/b>: “I am still reeling from that. I can’t believe he has sent him off.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
