Arsenal Fined for Player Misconduct in Wolves Match

Arsenal has been fined £65,000 by the Football Association (FA) for failing to control their players during a Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, following the controversial sending off of Myles Lewis-Skelly. The incident occurred in the 43rd minute when referee Michael Oliver issued a straight red card to Lewis-Skelly for a foul on Matt Doherty, prompting protests from Arsenal players. Although the red card was rescinded on appeal, the independent Regulatory Commission imposed the fine, citing improper behavior due to multiple players surrounding the referee. The fine is unusually high as this is Arsenal's sixth breach of such rules since 2022. Additionally, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) reported that threats and abuse were directed at Oliver and his family on social media following the incident.
