Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly received criticism from pundit Chris Sutton for his reckless play during the Champions League match against PSV where, after already receiving a yellow card, he risked a second one with a foul. Despite calls for a red card, referee decisions spared him, leading Manager Mikel Arteta to substitute him shortly after 34 minutes. His substitution, amid a 3-0 lead for Arsenal, aimed to prevent further complications as the young defender has faced red cards previously, with one being rescinded. The situation reflects Lewis-Skelly's naivety as he adjusts to high-stakes matches.
It is so naive from Myles Lewis-Skelly. It is a foul which warrants a second yellow. He is so fortunate to get away with that.
Lewis-Skelly's night took an early turn during Arsenal's Champions League match when he was substituted just 34 minutes in, amid fears of a second yellow card.
