Arsenal defender Myles Lewis-Skelly's controversial three-match ban has been overturned.

The Gunners appealed against the decision by referee Michael Oliver to send off the talented teenager at Wolves on Saturday - with an independent regulatory commission upholding their claim of wrongful dismissal, the Football Association confirmed.

The 18-year-old was handed a straight red card after fouling Matt Doherty, with referee Michael Oliver deeming it serious foul play.

Doherty was just outside the Wolves box as he mounted a counter-attack - with the decision somehow upheld by the video assistant referee (VAR) Darren England. 

The FA statement said: "An independent Regulatory Commission has upheld a claim of wrongful dismissal in relation to Myles Lewis-Skelly and removed his three-match suspension."

I’m not quite sure where that leaves Michael Oliver and Saturday’s VAR Darren England after such an emphatically quick decision relating to Myles Lewis-Skelly’s suspension being overurned after his red card at Wolves…
