Arsenal hope to have Aubameyang ban reduced after Crystal Palace red card

The Gunners striker is facing a three-game suspension after he was sent off, following a VAR intervention, in Saturday's Premier League clash

Arsenal hope to have Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s three-game ban reduced after he was sent off during the 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.

Aubameyang, who opened the scoring at Selhurst Park, saw red after a challenge on Max Meyer midway through the second half.

Originally, he was only booked for the foul by match official Paul Tierney, but he was then sent off after the tackle - which forced Meyer to be substituted with an ankle injury - was checked by VAR.
