Arsenal have been successful in their appeal against Myles Lewis-Skelly's straight red card in Saturday's Premier League game at Wolves.

 Lewis-Skelly was sent off for serious foul play after bringing down Matt Doherty shortly before half-time and referee Michael Oliver's decision was ratified by VAR.

The FA said: "An independent regulatory commission has upheld a claim of wrongful dismissal in relation to Myles Lewis-Skelly and removed his three-match suspension.

"The Arsenal player was sent off for serious foul play during their Premier League fixture against Wolves on Saturday, January 25."
