Arteta Responds about the red card fed Lewis-Skelly
Arsenal wanted to return after a 2-2 draw at home against Aston Villa.
They were heading for another frustrating result when Myles Lewis-Skelly issued a controversial red card at the end of the second period.
Joao Gomes of Wolves received a second yellow card in the 70th minute by playing for Jurrien Timber.
Riccardo Calafiori scored four minutes later and gave The Gunners a goal, which they did not let go for the rest of the game.
They have 47 points after 22 games, six behind Liverpool. Arteta hopes that the red card can be revoked.
“We hope we don't need, and if necessary, it was done and it's a very good example for what happened with Bruno [Fernandes] Also this season. Well we were in a position we shouldn't have but at least be in a position we should have for the next few weeks and let our players continue to emerge, ” He said via Arsenal.com.
Declan RiceLeandro Trossard, and William Saliba are other Arsenal players who have been given a red card this season.
“From the bench it was clear it wasn't a red card. But I saw him during the break, he was very disappointed in the team. But we finally won, so nothing happened,” Calafiori said through Metro Sports.
Is there an agenda against Arsenal?
Judges' decisions have dominated the headlines this season. Arsenal's four red cards have become the main points of negotiations.
Arsenal fans suggested that the Premier League should have an agenda against their team.
The Gunners have a lot of red cards this season, and in October, they were told by the former star of Tottenham Hotspur, Jamie O'hara that there is no conspiracy against them, according to London's football.
“You can't argue against the red cards they have received. By law, they have all been handled correctly,” O'hara said.
“The fact is that when you analyze three different actions and the consequences, the reason is very different. Regardless of that, we cannot continue to play with 10 men, especially at this level. We need to eliminate that,” Arteta said in October.
