Teenager shown straight red after foul at MolineuxOliver will not referee Arsenal v Manchester City
Arsenal have appealed against Myles Lewis-Skelly’s red card against Wolves and their game at home to Manchester City on Sunday will not be officiated by the referee at the centre of that controversy, Michael Oliver.
Lewis-Skelly, 18, became the third-youngest player dismissed in Premier League history when shown a straight red card by Oliver in the first half of Arsenal’s 1-0 win for taking down Matt Doherty in his own half. The decision was met with disbelief by pundits, with Alan Shearer calling it “one of the worst decisions that I’ve seen in a long time”.
