🚨Mikel Arteta and Michael Oliver appear to clash as fresh footage emerges

Posted by

Michael Oliver controversially sent off Myles Lewis-Skelly yesterday.

Oliver gave the 18-year-old his marching orders when he caught Matt Doherty with a deliberate trip.

Usually you would expect a yellow card for a foul like this but Oliver left Arsenal fans stunned by brandishing a red card.

There was speculation that the red card was due to Lewis-Skelly denying a goalscoring opportunity, despite the incident taking place 90 yards from goal.

But, the Premier League Match Centre account on X clarified the reason.

“The referee’s call of a red card for Lewis-Skelly was checked and confirmed by VAR, who deemed his challenge to have been serious foul play,” the account wrote.
