Lewis-Skelly ban overturned after Arsenal appeal
Briefly

Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly's red card, which led to a three-match ban, has been overturned following an appeal. The Football Association supported Arsenal's claim of wrongful dismissal by recognizing the independent regulatory commission's ruling. The decision stemmed from a foul on Wolves player Matt Doherty during a counter-attack, initially ruled as serious foul play by referee Michael Oliver, who confirmed the call with the video assistant referee (VAR). The successful appeal reinstates Lewis-Skelly's eligibility to play without suspension.
