EXCLUSIVEArsenal to use Bruno Fernandes precedent as they attempt to overturn Myles Lewis-Skelly's controversial red card against Wolves

Arsenal are expected to use footage of Bruno Fernandes’ overturned red card earlier this season as part of any appeal against Myles Lewis-Skelly’s controversial sending off against Wolves.

Gunners teenager Lewis-Skelly was given a straight red card by referee Michael Oliver on Saturday for fouling Matt Doherty deep inside Wolves’ half.

Match VAR Darren English upheld his colleague’s on-field decision, confirming the challenge was an act of serious foul play.

Nevertheless, the call has been deeply criticised over the previous 48 hours.

The deadline for Arsenal to issue a notice of appeal was at lunchtime on Monday with the club having until 1pm on Tuesday to make their full submission, including all supplementary evidence, with the Football Association.
