Arsenal slapped with hefty fine for Lewis-Skelly red card reaction

Arsenal have been slapped with a 65,000 pound fine for improper conduct following Myles Lewis-Skelly’s red card during the match against Wolves last month.

The midfielder was dismissed in the 43rd minute, which sparked frustration from manager Mikel Arteta. After the decision, several Arsenal players surrounded referee Michael Oliver.

Despite the red card, Arsenal managed to secure a 1-0 victory, thanks to a goal from Riccardo Calafiori, and Lewis-Skelly’s red card was overturned three days later.

“An independent Regulatory Commission has imposed a 65,000 pound fine on Arsenal in relation to the Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday 25 January,” the English Football Association stated.
