Arsenal's victory over Wolves sparked controversy following a red card issued to Myles Lewis-Skelly for a trip deemed serious foul play by referee Michael Oliver. Despite this, Mikel Arteta felt validated by the win, particularly as Riccardo Calafiori scored a late winner after Wolves were also reduced to 10 men. The game accentuated Arsenal's title aspirations while further deepening Wolves' troubles, including a fourth consecutive defeat, raising frustrations among their supporters towards the club's management and leaving both teams with pressing challenges moving forward.
Even if it seems inevitable Arsenal will dispute PGMOL's definition of serious foul play in the coming days, after the referee Michael Oliver's remarkable call to punish Myles Lewis-Skelly for a cynical trip with a red card.
Mikel Arteta will take great satisfaction from this victory at Wolves. The defender's first-half sending-off will dominate the discourse but the substitute Riccardo Calafiori's priceless winner ensured they stay in the hunt for the title.
