Arsenal have been charged by the Football Association after players confronted referee Michael Oliver following Myles Lewis-Skelly’s controversial dismissal in the <\/b>1-0 win against Wolves.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Oliver showed Lewis-Skelly a straight red card in the first half after the teenager fouled Matt Doherty, with the referee ruling it was serious foul play. <\/p>\n

The Gunners appealed against the decision and the 18-year-old’s three-match ban was overturned<\/a> earlier this week. <\/p>\n

Arsenal have until 3 February to respond to the FA charge. <\/p>\n

Police have been investigating “threats and abuse” directed at Oliver, said referees’ body Professional Game Match Officials Limited.<\/p>\n

The FA said Arsenal had allegedly failed to ensure their players “did not behave in an improper manner”.<\/p>\n

Doherty was just outside the Wolves box as he mounted a counter-attack in the 43rd minute when he was brought down by Lewis-Skelly. <\/p>\n

The decision to send him off was upheld by Darren England, who was the video assistant referee (VAR).<\/p>\n

The red card infuriated Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta and divided opinion among pundits and fans. <\/p>\n

Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer, the Premier League’s record goalscorer, said the sending off was “one of the worst decisions I’ve seen in a long time”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
