Arsenal has been accused by the Football Federation for the furious reaction of their players to the dismissal of the new full-back Myles Lewis-Skelly in Wolves on Saturday.
Lewis-Skelly was rejected shortly before the half time in Molineux to stumble Matt Doherty, as Wolves Full-Back brought the ball away from his own penalty area.
Referee Michael Oliver considered it a “serious foul” – and Var Darren England chose not to send him to the Pitch screen for a second glance. The red card was later canceled after appeal.
Arsenal’s players were visible by Oliver’s decision and gathered around the employee to support their case, an action that FA took a dim view.

Neville told The Stick to Football Podcast: “They (Arsenal fans) use language such as corruption, which means they think it is paid and buys – something that is obviously not happening.
“We (in Manchester United) lived in a club that created a siege mentality for the referees. It does for 12 months – but we can’t say it’s wrong to play the dressing room we did.
“The difference is now by social media. When we played back in the day and we did similar things to the referees, we did not inflame what would be a case of corruption in the social media.
“Now you have a swing for Arsenal’s anger, coming from players and Mikel Arteta, and prominent followers. Now you have a wave of social media that goes to (allegations) of corruption and deception. In our time, we could not We have so much influence – everyone was at home without a phone and we didn’t have the twitter. “
