Police are investigating threats and abuse aimed at referee Michael Oliver, the PGMOL has announced.
During Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Wolves on Saturday, Oliver controversially sent-off Myles Lewis-Skelly for a challenge on Matt Doherty.
Afterwards the PGMOL’s match centre confirmed on X that the challenge had been deemed as ‘serious foul play’, which was checked by the VAR Darren England.
The decision led to widespread backlash, with Mikel Arteta saying he was ‘fuming’ over the call and that Arsenal will be appealing it.
The PGMOL on Sunday released a statement condemning threats that have since been sent to Oliver.
