'I've never seen something like that in 18 years': Furious Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta DEMANDS 'explanations' after seeing striker Gabriel Martinelli sent off following two fouls in one phase of play during win at Wolves

Boss Mikel Arteta has demanded an explanation for Gabriel Martinelli's quickfire red card at Wolves and defended Arsenal's disciplinary record.

The striker was sent off - the Gunners' fourth red card in 2022 - for two yellow cards in a matter of seconds as Arteta's side hung on to win 1-0 at Molineux.

Gabriel Magalhaes' first-half strike moved the Gunners up to fifth in the Premier League table, a point behind West Ham with two games in hand.
