data-highlight-intro=\"true\">\n<p>Myles Lewis-Skelly has avoided a three-match ban after Arsenal successfully appealed against his red card in Saturday&#8217;s win at Wolves.<\/p>\n<p>The 18-year-old was controversially shown a straight red card by referee Michael Oliver in the first half of Arsenal&#8217;s 1-0 victory for taking down Matt Doherty in his own half.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis-Skelly became the third youngest player to be dismissed in Premier League history, but the Gunners lodged an appeal in a bid to get the red card overturned and the FA&#8217;s decision means the versatile full-back will not be suspended.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was left &#8220;absolutely fuming&#8221; by the decision, which was heavily criticised by fans and pundits.<\/p>\n<p>Arteta has already responded to the news at his press conference ahead of the Gunners&#8217; Champions League game against Girona, saying: &#8220;Obviously, I&#8217;m very happy that a decision has been made and Myles is going to be able to play again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"sdc-article-widget sdc-site-video sdc-article-widget callfn\" data-account-id=\"6057984924001\" data-amp-iframe-embed=\"\"
