Arsenal suffered a loss to Wolves United with the latter sealing its victory with a 2-1 full time.
Mikel Arteta has expressed his displeasure on the referees’ decision on the ban given to David Luiz.
David Luiz tackled Ruben Neves who was goal bound, and a penalty was awarded to Wolves United.
Ruben Neves scored the resulting penalty and Wolves won the game 2-1.
Mikel Arteta believes that the penalty and the ban are unjust against his side and has footages to back up his claims.
However, Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo had a contradictory view and said: “I think the referee doesn’t have any other option in both situations.”

Referee Craig Pawson gave the penalty and sent off Luiz – his third red card for Arsenal – and following a video assistant referee check, the decision remained. However, Pawson was not asked to review the incident on the pitchside monitor.
Luiz is set to miss Arsenal’s Premier League game at Aston Villa on Saturday but asked if he would appeal the red card Arteta said: “I would say yes, let’s go straight away, but we have to speak and make the decision [about] what’s the best thing to do.
