Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly Red Card Overturned After Successful Appeal

Arsenal has successfully appealed the red card issued to Myles Lewis-Skelly during their 1-0 victory over Wolves, resulting in the overturning of his three-match suspension. The young midfielder was sent off by referee Michael Oliver for a challenge on Wolves' Matt Doherty, which drew significant criticism due to its distance from the goal and the nature of the foul. An independent Regulatory Commission ruled that the red card was issued in error, allowing Lewis-Skelly to return for upcoming matches against Manchester City and Leicester, as well as the EFL Cup semi-final against Newcastle. Following the appeal, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed satisfaction with the outcome, having previously voiced frustration over the initial decision. The incident highlighted issues surrounding officiating and VAR's role in maintaining fairness during matches. This marks a significant moment for Lewis-Skelly, who had received his first red card in his senior career.
