Arsenal slapped with huge fine following Myles Lewis-Skelly red card incident that was later overturned
ARSENAL have been hit with a £65,000 fine after "failing to ensure players did not behave in an improper way" in the wake of Myles Lewis-Skelly's red card against Wolves last month.
The Gunners were left furious when Myles Lewis-Skelly received a straight red card at Molineux for a cynical foul on Matt Doherty on January 25.
At least eight players subsequently surrounded referee Michael Oliver to appeal the decision just before half-time.
And they were charged for the incident five days later.
Now, over three weeks on from the match, the Gunners have received their punishment.
A statement from the FA read: "An independent Regulatory Commission has imposed a £65,000 fine on Arsenal in relation to the Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday 25 January.
"It was alleged that Arsenal failed to ensure their players did not behave in an improper way around the 43rd minute, and the club subsequently admitted to this charge."
