Arsenal used a clip of a red-card incident involving a Liverpool star as part of their appeal for Myles Lewis-Skelly’s dismissal at Wolves last weekend.

The Arsenal youngster was sent off just before half-time of the Gunners’ 1-0 win at Wolves last weekend, with referee Michael Oliver deeming his trip on defender Matt Doherty to be “serious foul play”.

The decision, which raised a lot of dust, was overturned, with Arsenal winning the appeal after a three-person commission – made up of Independent Football Panel Members of the FA Judicial Panel – all agreed Lewis-Skelly’s three-match ban should be removed.

The Football Association (FA) has now published the written reasons from the case, which took place on Tuesday via a video conference.

According to their report, the evidence the Gunners used to support their case included one incident involving a Liverpool player.

Which Liverpool incident did Arsenal use in their appeal for Myles Lewis-Skelly red card?

Per the report, part of Arsenal’s appeal involved using video clips, including severe angles of the challenge made by Lewis-Skelly as well as the red card given to Alexis Mac Allister in Liverpool’s 3-1 home win over Bournemouth last season.

Mac Allister’s sending-off against the Cherries last season was reversed after Liverpool appealed, and the Gunners used this outcome as part of their evidence against Lewis-Skelly’s sending-off.

Mikel Arteta’s side also used a clip of Fernandes’ tackle on Tottenham midfielder James Maddison earlier this season during Manchester United’s defeat to Tottenham?

Fernandes was shown a red card at the time, but it was later overturned on appeal.

The FA’s written reasons state: “The Commission members were unanimous in their opinion that the Referee had made an obvious error in sending off Myles Lewis-Skelly for the challenge that he made.

“The challenge was certainly ‘Foul Play’, but it obviously could not, to the mind of the Commission, be categorised as having been ‘Serious Foul Play’.

“Myles Lewis-Skelly had stepped across his opponent and tripped him up, possibly deliberately, but in doing so, he had obviously not endangered the safety of his opponent or used excessive force or brutality, nor had he ‘lunged’ in at his opponent.

“The Club’s claim for Wrongful Dismissal was therefore deemed to have been successful and the standard punishment withdrawn.”
