'Fuming' Mikel Arteta shares tense verbal exchange with referee Michael Oliver after controversial Myles Lewis-Skelly dismissal against Wolves

An infuriated Mikel Arteta shared a tense exchange with referee Michael Oliver during the aftermath of Arsenal's 1-0 win over Wolves, which saw another contentious Gunners red card steal the headlines.

Oliver gave 18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly his marching orders on the cusp of half-time for a foul on Matt Doherty as Wolves were breaking away from an Arsenal set-piece.

It resulted in the visiting players surrounding Oliver in fury. There was initial confusion over whether the red card was due to Lewis-Skelly denying a goalscoring opportunity, despite the incident taking place 90 yards away from goal.
