Arsenal Defender Myles Lewis-Skelly's Red Card Overturned After Abuse Against Referee Michael Oliver
Myles Lewis-Skelly's three-match ban, imposed for a red card at Wolves, 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 decision came after referee Michael Oliver was subjected to threats and abuse, which prompted an investigation by the police. The referees' body PGMOL revealed that they are supporting Oliver and determined to tackle unacceptable behavior.
