Arsenal Slammed with £65,000 Fine Over Improper Conduct

Arsenal have been fined £65,000 after their players were deemed to have behaved in an “improper way” following Myles Lewis-Skelly’s red card against Wolverhampton Wanderers last month.

It was alleged that Arsenal failed to ensure their players did not behave in an improper way around the 43rd minute, and the club subsequently admitted to this charge.

Lewis-Skelly was sent off in the 43rd minute — much to the annoyance of manager Mikel Arteta — and the Arsenal players surrounded referee Michael Oliver afterwards.

Arsenal went on to win the game 1-0 thanks to a Riccardo Calafiori goal, while Lewis-Skelly’s red card was rescinded three days later.

Arsenal have the most red cards in the Premier League this season, with four. Arteta’s side are seven points off league leaders Liverpool.
