Arsenal have successfully overturned the red card given to Myles Lewis-Skelly during Saturday’s 1-0 win at Wolves, meaning the 18-year-old avoids a three-match suspension.

EDITOR’S PICKS 

Referee Michael Oliver did not review the decision with the VAR, which frustrated Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.

Alan Shearer, the former England captain, was among those who strongly criticized the decision, calling it “one of the worst I’ve seen in a long time.”

The Football Association issued a statement confirming: “An independent regulatory commission has upheld a claim of wrongful dismissal in relation to Myles Lewis-Skelly and removed his three-match suspension.”

Lewis-Skelly, who has impressed in his breakthrough season with Arsenal, is now eligible to face Manchester City and Leicester in the Premier League, along with the second leg of Arsenal’s League Cup semi-final against Newcastle.
