Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly has red card rescinded as FA release statement

talksport.com, 28 January 2025, 18:06
Arsenal have successfully appealed against Myles Lewis-Skelly's sending off against Wolves.

The youngster was controversially shown a straight red card by Michael Oliver during the first half at Molineux.

Lewis-Skelly was punished for a challenge on Matt Doherty after catching the full-back on his ankle as the Wolves full-back attempted to launch a counter-attack.

The controversial decision was not overturned by VAR but has now been rescinded by the FA.

In a statement, the FA confirmed: "An independent Regulatory Commission has upheld a claim of wrongful dismissal in relation to Myles Lewis-Skelly and removed his three-match suspension.

"The Arsenal player was sent off for serious foul play during their Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, January 25, 2025."

As a result, Lewis-Skelly is now cleared to feature in Arsenal's next Premier League match at home to Manchester City on Sunday.

The 18-year-old had been set to serve a three-match ban as a result of the dismissal.

His suspension would have seen Lewis-Skelly miss the upcoming league matches against City and Leicester.

He would have also been unavailable for the Gunners' Carabao Cup semi-final second leg trip to Newcastle.

It had been the first red card of Lewis-Skelly's career, with the academy graduate having so far only received three yellow cards in 17 senior appearances.

Despite the red card, Mikel Arteta's side went on to beat Wolves 1-0 thanks to Riccardo Calafiori's second half strike.

Jamie O'Hara stunned by Michael Oliver's decision to send off Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly

A combination of injuries and a notable drop-off in form from several first-team players has contributed to Man City's decline this season, leaving them 12 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, out of the EFL Cup and in danger of failing to qualify for the Champions League knockout rounds.
