Mikel Arteta furious over Myles Lewis-Skelly red card: Arsenal boss

As the first half came to a close, Lewis-Skelly made a decisive move near the edge of the Wolves box, resulting in referee Oliver showing a red card to the 18-year-old Matt Doherty for a serious foul play.

"I cannot believe Michael Oliver has sent Lewis-Skelly off there," said ' Tim Sherwood, as VAR stuck with the on-field official's call.

Arsenal won 1-0 thanks to Riccardo Calafiori's second-half winner - which came four minutes after Joao Gomes was dismissed for two yellow cards for a debatably even harsher challenge than Lewis-Skelly's on Jurrien Timber - but Arteta still could not hide his disappointment with the officials at full-time.

"It is that clear and I will leave it to you guys," Arteta told . "I am absolutely fuming. But I will leave it with you, it is that obvious that I don't think my words are going to help."

Asked if Arsenal will appeal the sending off, Arteta replied: "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].

"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."
