Arsenal have submitted a formal appeal against the red card shown to Myles Lewis-Skelly during their 1-0 win against Wolves.

The player was shown a straight red by referee Michael Oliver, with VAR backing up the decision.

PGMOL's position is that the challenge was extremely late, and the point of contact was high.

"That's for the club to decide what is the best decision. It's that obvious that maybe we don't even need to [put in an appeal]," Arteta said after the match.

"He's really happy now that the team won and found a way to win it. He is very worried about what's coming next because he's strongly feeling that there was nothing to do with the action."

Sky Sports reports now that Arsenal have sent an appeal to the FA to consider overturning the card.
